What does the Bible say about Cain and Abel's story?

Answered in 1 source

The story of Cain and Abel, found in Genesis 4, illustrates themes of sin, jealousy, and divine judgment.

The narrative of Cain and Abel in Genesis chapter four reveals the severity of sin and its consequences. After Cain murders his brother Abel, God confronts him, asking where Abel is. Cain lies, showcasing his hardened heart and rejection of accountability. The account highlights God’s sovereignty and justice; despite Cain's sin, God marks him with a curse but also protects him from being killed by others. This passage serves as a moral lesson on the nature of sin and the human heart's propensity to rebel against God's commandments, a truth emphasized in the teachings of the New Testament as well.
