Conclusion of A Good Son, and a Bad One

So God tells Cain that he should change his ways. But Cain does not listen. He is very angry because God liked Abel better. So Cain says to Abel, 'let us go over into the field.'  There, when they were all alone, Cain hits his brother Abel. He hits him so hard that he kills him. Wasn't that a terrible thing for Cain to do?

Even though Abel died, God still remembers him. Abel was good, and Jehovah never forgets a person like that.  So one day Jehovah God will bring Abel back to life. At that time Abel will never have to die. He will be able to live here on earth forever. Won't it be fine to get to know persons like Abel? 

But God is not pleased with persons like Cain. So after Cain killed his brother, God punished him by sending far away from the rest of his family. When Cain went away to live in another part of the earth, he toll with him one of his sisters, and she became his wife. 

In time Cain and his wife began to have children. Other sons and daughters of Adam and Eve got married, and they also had children.  Soon there were many people on the earth.  Let's learn about some of them.

Genesis 4:2-26; 1 John 3:11, 12; John 11:25.
