Self righteous is always against God's Grace.It always says "God see what I did for you?"Why God accept the sacrifice of Abel and not pleased with Cain.Cain is the First-born son of Adam and Eve.Cain's name means"possesion". Farming the land is not a easy Job, It requires lot of hard work.One must remember there is no rainfall on those days(Genesis 2:5,6).Cain must plan the irrigation for his farming Land.God created Adam told him to take care of the Eden ,Tend and Guard it.Serpent sneaked in and beguiled them using their carelessness.They bring forth the curse to all the human kind ,God prophesied them about seed of woman who crush all the curse over them.Then they were clothed with the skin of animals by God.
Cain knew all about this was so careful about tilling his land.I wonder still there is no passage saying Adam started to plough the Ground,It was Cain who set up a First -Farm.He is also careful to bring his first harvest as sacrifice.Cain's heart thought about the carelessness of his daddy and how it brings punishment from God.So,he try to please God by his own efforts.
He tend and take care of the Farm.He respects the Lord by bringing the sacrifice first and first quality of his harvest .Still He got rejected.Abel was a sheep Farmer his heart was fixed in the mercy of God ,How he clothed his Father and Mother by sacrificing a animal.He understood that God forgave his father and mother because of his grace.He clothed and protect them because of his sheer grace not by any efforts made by their parents.
When ever Abel sacrifice a sheep before the Lord he remembered his loving kindness ,his prophesy of messiah and through messiah how he going to get the eternal life.Therefore Abel sacrificed a sheep in remembrance of the First clothing God gave to the human kind.God accepted Abel's Sacrifice and rejected Cain because he tried to please God through his own efforts.
Abel understood that after the light had taken away from human kind only God's Grace will clothe them.God too remember his Grace for mankind.Cain made a big mistake by approving the efforts of his parents who cloth themselves with fig tree leaves that is not sufficient to cover them.What's the use of remembering our own deeds before God like pharisee? .Cain couldn't see the effort of God taken for sake of them.He can only see what he can do.In contrary Abel could see what God did for them and grateful for that.No wonder God accepted Abel over Cain.
