PRIMITIVE SACRIFICES. It is evident that the Bible does not record all that was communicated to man; however, the careful student sees that sacrificial worship was a Divine revelation. The statements that Cain brought and Abel brought their respective sacrifices, may indicate that there was a specific time and place where offerings were presented to God (Gen., 4:1-4). In addition to this, we learn that Abel offered his sacrifice by faith (Heb., 11:4), and that faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom., 10:17); that Cain sinned (Gen., 4:7), and that sin is the transgression of the law (I. John, 3:4).
