Cain and Abel each brought an offering to God. Cain's offering of produce from the ground was not accepted by God, while Abel's offering of firstborn animals was accepted. Cain became angry and jealous, and later murdered Abel. God punished Cain by cursing the ground and making him a fugitive. Abel's sacrifice was more excellent because it was an offering of faith and he is still spoken of today as the first Christian martyr.
