Noah would have been a child of Cain instead of a child of Abel if he had built a canoe, boat or raft according to his own specifications.


Abraham, Noah and Moses are children of Abel in that the respected the call to communication and relationship with the Lord. This is the faith of Abraham. It is the faith of Abel. Cain said that Daddy said that God said, ".. you shall till and live from the earth." He must have become confident reciting this old command of the Lord given to his father but this command did not exclude daily relationship and this is where Cain fell short. The Lord invited Him to such relationship and he rejected it in favor of his impatient, angry feelings.  What explains Cain’s reactions to Abel? He was just as favored in terms of his invitation to relationship. Choose to walk in the faith in Abraham( “I am a messianic Jew..I am walking in the faith of Abraham”) and recite this choice a few times. It is like submitting to the fact that you do not know what day you will die.
