少儿英语圣经故事57：In the Beginning起初

　　As the boys grew, Abel became interested in keeping sheep, and Cain loved gardening. Genesis 4：3 says, And in the process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. Abel was also old enough to bring his own offering for sin, but instead of fruit and vegetables, Abel offered a lamb from his flock. The Bible tells us that God had respect for Abels offering, but not for Cains. That means God accepted Abels offering, but not Cains. Why?Hebrews 11：4 says, By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain Abel had not only brought the sin offering that God required, but he had offered it with a right heart- he offered it by faith.

　　当这两个男孩一天天长大, 亚伯变得对牧羊感兴趣, 而该隐却喜爱园艺。《创世纪》4：3告诉我们：该隐拿地里的出产为供物献给耶和华亚伯到了可以为他自己的罪献祭时, 他没有献上水果和蔬菜, 而是献上他羊群中头生的。圣经告诉我们神喜悦亚伯献上的，却不喜悦该隐献上的。为什么呢?希伯来书11：4告诉我们亚伯因着信献祭与神、比该隐所献的更美、因此便得了称义的见证、就是神指他礼物作的见证.他虽然死了、却因这信仍旧说话亚伯不仅献上了神所喜悦的，更是有一个正确的心态，因为他是凭着信心献上的。

　　If you know the Lord Jesus as your Savior from sin, God wants you to not only obey His commands, but also to do it with a right heart, a heart of faith. Hebrews 11：6 says, But without faith it is impossible to please him：, for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. A heart of faith causes you to not only obey God, but to do it because you love Him and believe His Word! Having a heart of faith will cause you to go to church cheerfully, not just because your parents make you go. Do you read your Bible, pray, and sing to the Lord with all your heart?If you know the Lord Jesus, it is important to do the right thing and to do it with a right heart, a heart that loves and believes God.
