Top Highlights
“What is ‘the lie’ (singular) that has ruled civilization since the fall of man? It’s the belief that men and women can be their own god and live for the creation and not the Creator and not suffer any consequences.” (Page 62)
“Cain wasn’t rejected because of his offering, but his offering was rejected because of Cain: his heart wasn’t right with God. It was ‘by faith’ that Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain (Heb. 11:4), which means that he had faith in God and was right with God.” (Pages 74–75)
“God didn’t create a world because He needed anything but that He might share His love with creatures who, unlike the angels, are made in the image of God and can respond willingly to His love.” (Page 15)
“Third, we were created to have dominion over the earth” (Page 30)
“Ecclesiastes. Cain’s name reminds us that life comes from God, while Abel’s name tells us that life is brief.” (Page 72)
