Anyhow, when the Angel begin to pull His flaming sword out to guard this Tree of Life…Now, watch. Cain and Abel both come to find favor with God. Amen. Now, look. Cain was a long ways from being a communist; neither was he an atheist. But Cain was a believer. Get on your shock proof vests now. Cain was a believer and a worshipper of God. If God only required a believer, Cain was just as just as Abel was. And God would be unjust if He condemned Cain for his faith in Him and accepted Abel, if faith was all He required. All right. But Cain came and offered a sacrifice. Now, look. Cain built an altar, a church. Cain made a sacrifice, just same as Abel did. And Cain worshipped. He never come as an unbeliever. He come as a believer. He raised up his hands and worshipped God just the same as Abel did. Well, if a church membership, an altar, a worship, a sacrifice is all God requires, then Cain was just as just as Abel was.
