Hebrews 11:4
Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain. See the
account of Genesis 4:1-5. Abel's faith was probably shown in offering
just such a sacrifice as the Lord demanded, while Cain made an offering
according to his own ideas.
By which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying
of his gifts. In some way the Lord testified his approval of Abel's
sacrifice, and showed his disapproval of Cain's, perhaps by sending
fire to consume Abel's.
And by it he being dead yet speaketh. By his faith. His faith
speaks to all ages.
