1. My Offering:
I don’t believe I can make it

2. Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she
became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.
She said, “With the help of the LORD I have
brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth
to his brother Abel.
Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the
course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the
soil as an offering to the LORD. And Abel also brought an
offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his
flock.

3. The LORD looked with favour on Abel and
his offering, but on Cain and his offering he
did not look with favour. So Cain was very
angry, and his face was downcast.
Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you
angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is
right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do
what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to
have you, but you must rule over it.”
Genesis 4:1-7

4. God received Abel's sacrifice because
he stood in a proper relationship with
God and made the offering in a manner
acceptable to Him. In this way, Abel
successfully laid the foundation of faith
in Adam's family. He serves as an
example that any fallen person can
make an offering acceptable to God
provided he satisfies the necessary
conditions.
Exposition of the Divine Principle, p. 192

5. we must establish the foundation of
faith by making the symbolic
offering, which fulfils a condition of
indemnity for the restoration of all
things and a condition of indemnity for
the symbolic restoration of people.
Exposition of the Divine Principle, p. 195

6. The expression “the foundation of faith has
been established” refers to a conditional
position where someone is able to indemnify
the Fall, which occurred due to disbelief in God,
and stand again in the hopeful position of
Adam, who can be trusted by Heaven.
Father Moon, Cheon Seong Gyeong p. 1211

7. When we can’t cope
Make time to build hope
