The Lord said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground. " Genesis 4:1-10 (NIV)
Abel gave God his best, while Cain just offered God some of his increase. God accepted Abel's offering but he rejected Cain's offering. Cain got angry and killed his brother Abel, and God punished him for that.
What will our "blood" say about us when we are gone? Blood here is a figure of speech, it is something that will be left behind after our soul leaves our body. What will be remembered about us and said about us after we die? More importantly, what will the life that we have lived say to God about us after our death?
God knows whether we have truly given Him our best, when we have been wronged by others, and when we have done wrong unto others. We will have to give an account for our actions, as well as for our words and thoughts. When we stand before Jesus in judgement, we won't have to say a word, our lives will speak for us. What will our life say about us and what we did, or did not do, to give God glory?
