<TITLE>07. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 Now, in coming out there was two boys after Adam and Eve and Cain and Abel, and they were both the children of the parent of Adam and Eve. Now, remember, both boys tried to find favor with God. And they made an altar. Now, here's the shocking part now. Get right down to the bottom. Cain was not an unbeliever. Cain was a believer. Oh, may the Holy Spirit, now quieten us, get our attentions back in Genesis, and let's live this picture.
Cain was not an unbeliever. Cain was a believer. And if a believer is all that God required, God was unjust condemning Cain and accepting another believer. Cain was not a communist. Cain was not an infidel. Cain was a religious man. And notice, he came to worship God. He not only was a believer, but he was a worshiper, not of a false cult, but he was a worshiper of Jehovah God. Let it soak now. Notice: a worshiper of God.
I heard people say, "All you have to do is confess Jesus to be the Son of God, you're saved." Devils done the same thing and they're not saved, you know. Takes more than that. The devil said, "We know who you are, the Son of God, the Holy One of Israel": publically confessing.

L-30 Cain was a believer and acknowledged the Creator. Not only that, but he was a worshipper. Now, I suppose that the east side of the garden of Eden, where the garden lays east in Eden, perhaps there where the great sword of the Angel was flipping back and forth, the lightning, guarding that Tree. Cain and Abel out there working the fields, realize that they come from that lovely home.
They was trying to worship God. And Cain built himself an altar or a church. Abel built him one. Cain made a sacrifice. Abel made one. Cain knelt in worship. Abel did the same thing. Now, if God only requires a faith in God, or a confession, or an altar, or church membership, a sacrifice, and a membership and a loyalty to the church, a part of your money, your time of worship, your sincerity of what you believe, then God being just, would have to accept Cain.

L-31 Easter's soon coming and this lovely city with others across the nation... There will be tens of thousands times thousands of dollars spent for Easter flowers to go on the altar. Why, brother, that's pagan. God never had an altar for Easter flowers; that's what Cain put on it. And coming Easter... But they don't even... The world has got even Easter, Christmas, and every thing else, till it's a great day of commercial, nothing about God in it. What in the world's Easter got to do with a rabbit, or a chicken, or a yellow duck, or something? We are just as pagan as the heathens are and worse than they are in Africa. And yet, you put up with it. God help us to shun those things. As the sunlight of God begin to bathe down and expose those things, let's walk in the Light.
Easter don't mean putting on a whole lot of new clothes and get out. But members of churches will go and strow the whole altar full of Easter flowers; make their contribution to the church, write a check out for several thousand dollars and give it into the church so they can build a--a maybe a new recreation room. You need a prayer room, pastor and all to be in it too. All right. But there it is. Where did it come from? We see it here. Where did it come from? From Genesis, it began. Cain...
