SONS OF GOD. The descendants of Seth were [8] called by the name of the Lord (Gen., 4:25, 26). This is not true in reference to the descendants of Cain. The servants of God in all ages have been called the sons of God (Job, 1:6; Rom., 8:14; I. John, 3:2). The character of Seth's descendants proves that they were the sons of God (Gen., 5:3-29; 6:9; 7:1). The character of Cain's descendants proves that they were not the sons of God, for Cain himself was a murderer, fugitive, and vagabond (Gen., 4:8-14), and his descendants were polygamists and murderers (Gen., 4:17-23).
