All Things Spiritual – Mother's Day 2024

In Genesis 4:13, Cain complains of his severe punishment and the consequences of his sin. He believes that his iniquity is greater than it can be forgiven, but he forgets the mercy of God. Satan's greatest lie is that sin is unpardonable, leading to massive stay in sin. Cain's complaint is a reproach and affront to the justice of God, as he condemns God instead of accepting the punishment of his sin. This hardness of the heart is evident in Pharaoh's care for his land's suffering rather than his sin. Cain's complaint is a reminder that we should be more concerned with our sufferings than our sins. He cries out of despair when he is thankful for the mercy of God. Cain's complaint is a reminder that we should be thankful for the mercy of God and not complain about our sins.
