Cain was a farmer who raised fruit and vegetables. He raised wheat, barley and broccoli. Abel was a shepherd. He raised sheep and took care of them. Back in the time of Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel, people had to give sacrifices to Yahweh. Today we give sacrifices of praise to Yahweh.
Abel gave Yahweh his very best lamb. Cain gave Yahweh an offering of his fruits and vegetables. He wasn't willing to give Yahweh what was required. Yahweh accepted Abel's sacrifice of a lamb but He didn't accept Cain's sacrifice and that made Cain very angry. Cain got mad at Abel. He got so mad that he killed his brother Abel! Because Cain killed his brother Abel, Yahweh caused Cain to suffer for the rest of his life.
Yahweh gave laws that people should love other people. He gave laws for us to follow because He loves us. Keeping His laws makes people happy. Children should love, respect and obey their parents (Ephesians 6:1-3). We have to learn that even though our way may seem to be right, it is always better for us if we follow Yahweh's ways.
