What does the Bible say about Abel's sacrifice?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible says Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God, as it was offered in faith, representing a more excellent sacrifice than Cain's.

In Hebrews 11:4, Abel is commended for offering a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. This was not only a physical offering but a representation of the faith he had in God's promise of redemption. Abel’s sacrifice was accepted because it pointed to the necessity of a blood sacrifice, which signifies the need for atonement for sin. This aspect of faith is critical because it acknowledges the character of God who requires a sacrifice, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
