少儿英语圣经故事57：In the Beginning起初

　　Sin is when we do things that do not please God. You may think you are doing something for God, but if you are doing it your own way and with a prideful heart, that is sin. Sin is when you resent that others receive a better grade than you. Do you pout and resent it when someone corrects you for the wrong youre doing?That is sin. Gods Word says, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. We are all born with that deceitful, sinful heart. God says if you continue on in your sin, you will be separated from Him and His perfect Heaven forever.

　　当我们做神不喜悦的事时就是犯罪;也许你在为神做着某些事情, 但如果你用自己的办法，或者有颗骄傲的心做，都是犯罪;当你嫉妒其他人成绩比你好，是犯罪;当别人纠正你所犯的错误时你却生气，是犯罪。耶利米书17：9告诉我们人心比万物都诡诈、坏到极处我们生来就有诡诈的心。神说如果你继续犯罪, 你将永远地离开他和他那完美的天堂。

　　Even when God gave Cain another chance to do the right thing, Cain continued on in his sin. Cain could have easily gotten a lamb from his brother, and made the animal sacrifice that God required, but he did not. You may ask, Why was it so important to offer an animal sacrifice rather than a fruit and vegetable offering to the Lord? Hebrews 9：22b says, and without shedding of blood, is no remission. It is Gods plan that the payment of sin would be blood, and without that blood God would not forgive the sins of the people. In the Old Testament, it was the blood of an animal, usually a lamb. When the Lord Jesus Christ, Gods Son, came to earth He was called the Lamb of God, because He would shed His own precious blood for our sin, and suffer death for us. I Corinthians 5：7 says, For even Christis sacrificed for us Jesus died on the cross, but He rose again the third day and now He is in Heaven. After His death, no animals would need to be sacrificed for sin.
