Genesis 4:1 – 5:32

• At the end of each day of creation God assesses His creation and then makes an evaluative comment. He continues to do so with
  Adam’s children. How does God respond to the brothers’ offerings? How do Cain and Abel’s offerings differ? (see Matthew 23:34-35; Hebrews 11:4, 12:24)
• How does God confront Cain? What does this tell you about God’s goal in confrontation? (Proverbs 28:13)
• Read 1 John 3:12 and Jude 11 for New Testament commentary regarding Cain. What do these Scriptures tell you about Cain? About the Serpent?
• Make two columns and make a list of the differences between the lineages of Cain and Seth.
• From 5:1-3 describe the difference between Adam and Eve and their son, Seth.
• How had God described the reproduction process in Genesis one? What does this tell you about Seth, Cain, and post-Fall people?
• What was God’s goal for people in Genesis 1:28? How is the world described in Noah’s day in chapter 6:11-13?
• What happens when Seth’s sons began intermarrying with Cain’s daughters?
• When you read of Nephilim think of men of wicked heroic proportion (the Hitler’s of this world). Think also about the number of years men lived upon the earth and extent of a wicked man’s reach.
• Read Hebrews 11:5-7. How does Noah respond to God’s overture? What does God look for from His people? What is the ONE THING that pleases God? What does “faith” look like in people’s lives?
