Bible Commentary

Genesis 4:4

Abel gave his firstlings — the very best of what he had — showing a heart of faith and wholehearted devotion. God's acceptance was a response to Abel's faith.

Memory phrase: Abel gave his very best to God.

Talk about it: What does it mean to give your very best to someone? Have you ever done that?

Prayer: God, I want to give You my very best, just like Abel did.
