MEN WHO CALL ON THE LORD

 

MEN WHO CALL ON THE LORD

Passage: Genesis 4:16-26

Key verse: 26

 

1. Cain’s descendants without God (16-24)

Cain went out from God’s presence, married, and had children. His descendants

built cities, formed civilizations, developed technology, and advanced culture.

Humanly, they were impressive, but without God in their lives, they were pitiful.

Sin spread quickly into men’s hearts and mentalities, as seen through Lamech, six

generations from Adam. Lamech’s polygamous lifestyle corrupted the pure form

of marriage God had established. Also, he tried to justify murder as revenge and

twisted God’s words to save himself.

 

2. Men who call on the Lord (25-26)

Adam and Eve had another son Seth who had faith in God and passed on an

inheritance of faith to his son Enosh. Henceforth, there was a line of men of faith

who called on the Lord, different from the rest of the godless society. Compared

to Cain’s descendants, they may seem unimpressive, but spiritually, it is infinitely

greater to raise a line of men of faith who call on the name of the Lord.

 

Prayer Lord, please help me to call on you and raise my children to have personal

faith.

One Word Leave a heritage of faith
