Abel fue pastor y Caín agricultor. Pasó el tiempo y Caín llevó a Dios una ofrenda de los frutos de la tierra, unos frutos del campo que no eran buenos. También Abel llevó a Dios las primeras y las mejores crías de su ganado. Y Dios quedó muy agradado de Abel y de su ofrenda, pero no miró con agrado ni a Caín ni a su ofrenda. Caín se enfureció muchísimo y puso muy mala cara y Dios le dijo: ¿Porqué estas enfurecido y pones mala cara? Si hicieras lo bueno podrías levantar la cara, pero como no lo haces, el pecado está esperando el momento de dominarte. Sin embargo, tú puedes dominarlo a él. El pecado de Caín Caín invitó después a su hermano Abel a dar un paseo, y cuando los dos estaban en el campo, Caín atacó a su hermano Abel y lo mató. Entonces Dios le preguntó a Caín: ¿Dónde está tu hermano Abel? Y Caín contestó: No sé. ¿Acaso soy yo el encargado de cuidar de mi hermano? Dios le dijo: ¿Qué has hecho? La sangre de tu hermano que has derramado en la tierra me pide que yo haga justicia. Por eso quedarás maldito, y expulsado de la tierra que ha absorbido la sangre de tu hermano, a quien tú mataste. Castigo de Caín Dios le dijo: Aunque trabajes la tierra no volverá a darte sus frutos, y andarás fugitivo y errante por el mundo. Y Caín le respondió: Yo no puedo soportar un castigo tan grande. Hoy me has echado de la tierra. Cualquiera que me vea me matará. Pero Dios le contestó: Cualquiera que te mate, será castigado siete veces más. Y Dios le puso una señal a Caín para el que lo encontrará no lo matará Caín preso de terror y desesperación, huyo de la presencia de Dios y se fue a vivir al país de Nod, lejos de Dios, construyó una ciudad y le puso el nombre de su hijo: Henoc. Pasó el resto de su vida agitado por los más crueles remordimientos, hasta que murió herido por una flecha de Lamec, su pariente el cual lo había tomado por una fiera. Los descendientes de Caín fueron malvados. No obstante algunos de ellos se distinguen con ingeniosos descubrimientos: Juval inventó la música Tubul- Caín el medio de fundir el hierro y el cobre para hacer instrumentos Nohema enseñó el modo de hilar la lana y de tejer la tela. Adán y Eva tuvieron otro hijo tan bueno como Abel, que se llamó Set. De su descendencia, de su futura familia, nacería Abraham, el padre del pueblo elegido por Dios.

Cain and Abel Bible Mazes
For Cain and Abel's project, I created a file folder game (FFG). because I wanted to reinforce doing what is right, and what God wants, not what we want, I created the game cards for the player to move forward if it is the right thing to do or move backward if it is the wrong choice. Review: Last week we talked about Adam and Eve. They were in the Garden of Eden. They were allowed to eat the fruit from every tree except for the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A serpent came along and said, “You know that you won’t really die if you eat that fruit, but you will be just like God, knowing good and evil.” What kind of fruit was it? We don’t know, the Bible doesn’t tell us. Eve thought it looked good and she wanted to be wise, so she ate it and gave it to Adam, and he ate from it. They saw that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. God came looking for them and after a discussion, God told them their punishment. The serpent was also punished. God made them tunics from skin and made them leave the garden. He put cherubim in the east of the garden and a flaming sword to guard the tree of life. Lesson I found in Genesis 4:1-5:5: Adam and Eve had a son and they named him Cain. Then they had a second son and named him Abel. God told Adam and Eve to build an altar from rocks and stones. They cut up wood and put it on top of the altar and then God wanted them to kill a male lamb and use it as a sacrifice. Adam and Eve taught their children about sin. Cain was a farmer and Abel was a shepherd. After a time, when they were giving their offerings to God, Cain brought his fruit that he grew in his garden and Abel brought the firstborn and the best of his flock of sheep. God liked and respected Abel’s offering. But He did not like Cain’s offering. You can print the table Cain/Abel display tags here. The Bible tells us that by faith Abel brought his best and gave his offering to God with the right attitude that God expected. (See article links below) Cain didn't show faith in his sacrifice. Cain was angry that God didn’t accept his offering and was jealous that God accepted Abel’s offering. Cain talked to Abel and after a time, when they were in the field, Cain killed his brother Abel. We are not told how Cain killed his brother, just that he did. God asked Cain “Where is your brother?” And Cain said, “I don’t know, am I my brother’s keeper?” God said “What have you done? His blood cries out from the ground and now you are cursed. When you farm the land, it will not give you food. You will be a fugitive and a vagabond (drifter or hobo) on the earth.” But Cain cried “That is more than I can bear! If I travel around someone will know who I am and kill me.” Now think about this, he doesn’t want to be killed, and he just killed his brother? God said that if someone killed Cain, God would take vengeance 7 times on that person.” God put a mark on Cain so no one would kill him. Cain left and went to Nod. He married and they had a son named Enoch. They built a city and called it Enoch, after their son. Adam and Eve had another son and they named him Seth. Seth had children and from him came Noah, Abraham, David and Jesus. Adam was 130 when they had Seth. Adam lived 930 years and had more sons and daughters! In an effort to keep to the scripture, I researched about Cain vs. Abel's offerings. Here are a couple of good places for information: Christian Courier (article by Jared Jackson) LaVista Church of Christ Jamestown Church of Christ (article by Frank Walton) I made this file folder game (FFG) to use with this lesson, and then I let the kid have them to take home. What I want to have the kids think about is obeying God, their parents and doing the right thing. Cain didn't. And, then he lied about it. And, one sin usually leads to another, to another, etc. I couldn't decide to title this project Love God & Family or Obey God and Family! But, if you love God and your parents, you will try to obey them. I made the title so it would work with any Bible lesson. This could be used for a lot of different type classes or home uses. Here is the inside, with the game board on the inside right. There are player markers, which I left ends on mine to fold under and help them stand, but that's an option. My daughter suggested rock, paper, scissors to see who goes first, then the first player will take a card, move the spaces it says to, and the next player goes, and so on. The cards are all based on if you do the right thing, you move forward. If you do the wrong thing, you move backward. There are extra blank cards for you to add more appropriate things for you. If there is time, the cards are good to use as thought questions. You can print the FFG here. Click here to print. All the Genesis Worksheets can be printed here.

Caín y Abel 🎁Propósito especifico. Que a través de la historia de Caín y Abel los niños aprendan sobre el acto de ofrendar. 🎁 Propósito general: doctrinal. 🎁Pasaje bíblico. Génesis 4.1-16 🎁Versículo bíblico. También Abel le ofreció las primeras y mejores crías de su rebaño. El Señor miró con agrado a Abel y a su ofrenda. Génesis 4.4 BLPH Adán se unió a Eva, su mujer, y ella concibió y dio a luz a Caín. Y dijo: — He tenido un hombre gracias al Señor. 2 Después dio a luz a Abel, hermano de Caín. Abel se dedicó a criar ovejas, y Caín a labrar la tierra. Génesis 4.1-2 BLPH 🎁Introducción. Adán y Eva tuvieron dos hijos: Caín, el mayor, y Abel, el menor. Aunque crecieron en la misma familia, tenían intereses y trabajos diferentes. Caín trabajaba cultivando la tierra, mientras que Abel cuidaba ovejas. Un día, ambos decidieron llevar una ofrenda al Señor. La ofrenda es una manera de mostrar agradecimiento a Dios por todo lo que nos da. ¿Sabes qué es una ofrenda? ¿Alguna vez has dado una? ¿Cómo te sentiste al hacerlo? ¿Lo diste de lo tuyo o tus padres te dieron algo para ofrecer? La historia de Caín y Abel no solo nos habla de sus ofrendas, sino también de las actitudes y motivaciones detrás de ellas. En la historia de Caín y Abel encontramos algunas lecciones importantes acerca de la ofrenda, veamos cuáles son. 1. La ofrenda es lo mejor de nosotros 🎁 "Al cabo de un tiempo, Caín presentó de los frutos del campo una ofrenda al Señor. También Abel le ofreció las primeras y mejores crías de su rebaño." (Génesis 4:3-4b) La Biblia dice que ambos hermanos trajeron una ofrenda a Dios de lo que se dedicaban: Caín trajo frutos del campo y Abel ofreció las primeras y mejores crías de su rebaño. Ambas ofrendas eran válidas ante Dios, y Él se agrada cuando alguien le da una ofrenda fruto de su trabajo personal. Sin embargo, Abel se esforzó por darle a Dios lo mejor de lo que tenía. Cuando le damos a Dios, debemos procurar ofrecerle lo mejor de nosotros, tal como Abel lo hizo. Esto significa dar no solo lo que nos sobra, sino lo que realmente valoramos y consideramos importante. Al ofrecer lo mejor de nuestro trabajo y nuestros recursos, mostramos nuestro amor y gratitud a Dios de una manera significativa y sincera. 2. La ofrenda es de corazón 🎁 El Señor miró con agrado a Abel y a su ofrenda, pero no miró del mismo modo a Caín y a la suya. Entonces Caín se irritó sobremanera y puso mala cara. (Génesis 4:4-5) BLPH ¿Qué es lo que Dios vio primero? ¿A las personas o a la ofrenda? Dios ama lo que nosotros podemos ofrecerle, pero le interesa más con qué actitud lo hacemos. A Dios no le sorprende una gran ofrenda si la persona no lo está haciendo de corazón. La Biblia nos muestra que Dios miró primero a Caín y a Abel y después vio la ofrenda que le trajeron. Esto significa que Dios ve nuestros corazones y sabe con qué actitud venimos ante Él. Si nos molestamos al ir a la iglesia, si no queríamos darle una ofrenda, o si nos alegraba asistir, Dios lo sabe. Él conoce nuestros sentimientos más profundos y quiere que nuestras ofrendas vengan de un corazón sincero y agradecido. 3. La ofrenda es con fe 🎁 "Por la fe Abel ofreció a Dios un sacrificio más valioso que el de Caín; por ella fue proclamado justo al dar Dios testimonio a favor de sus ofrendas. Y por su fe, aunque muerto, sigue hablando todavía." (Hebreos 11:4) Abel le dio a Dios lo mejor que tenía y lo hizo de corazón, pero además ofreció su ofrenda con fe. Esto significa que creía en lo que estaba haciendo y tenía plena confianza en Dios. ¿Sabes por qué haces todo lo que haces en la iglesia? ¿Vienes porque realmente crees o porque te traen tus papás? Cuando estás convencido de tu fe en Dios y haces las cosas por tu propia convicción, eso es verdadera fe. Sin embargo, cuando lo haces solo por rutina o para evitar problemas con tus padres, esa es una fe fingida. Puedes engañar a tus padres haciéndoles creer que tienes fe, pero si por ti fuera no vendrías a la iglesia. Dios, sin embargo, conoce tu corazón y sabe cuán genuina es tu fe. Al igual que Abel, debemos ofrecer nuestras ofrendas y nuestras acciones con una fe sincera y verdadera, confiando plenamente en Dios y creyendo en lo que hacemos. 🎁 Conclusión. De la historia de Caín y Abel aprendemos importantes lecciones sobre la ofrenda. Abel le dio a Dios lo mejor de lo que tenía, de corazón y con fe. Esto nos recuerda que nuestras ofrendas a Dios deben ser sinceras, significativas y basadas en una verdadera fe. No importa tanto la cantidad o el valor material de lo que damos, sino la actitud y el amor con que lo ofrecemos. Dios conoce nuestros corazones y se agrada cuando le damos lo mejor de nosotros, con gratitud y confianza en Él. Sigamos el ejemplo de Abel y ofrezcamos nuestras ofrendas de manera que reflejen nuestro amor y fe en Dios. 🎁Oración modelo. Amado Dios, Gracias por enseñarnos sobre la historia de Caín y Abel. Queremos darte lo mejor de nosotros, de corazón y con fe, tal como lo hizo Abel. Ayúdanos a recordar que lo más importante es nuestra actitud y el amor con que te ofrecemos nuestras ofrendas. Queremos agradarte en todo lo que hacemos y siempre confiar en Ti. Amén. 🎁Llamado a la acción. Esta semana, vamos a pensar en cómo podemos ofrecerle a Dios lo mejor de nosotros. Aquí hay algunas ideas para poner en práctica lo que aprendimos hoy: 1. Ofrenda Personal: Si tienes una alcancía o ahorros, separa una parte especial para dar como ofrenda en la iglesia el próximo domingo. Recuerda hacerlo con amor y gratitud. 2. Ayudar en Casa: Ayuda a tus padres o hermanos en casa con una tarea extra, y hazlo con una buena actitud y sin que te lo pidan. Esto también es una forma de ofrenda a Dios. 3. Oración y Gratitud: Cada noche, antes de dormir, ora y da gracias a Dios por todas las bendiciones que tienes. Ofrece tu corazón y tus palabras sinceras a Él. 4. Canta alabanzas: Dedica un momento cada día para cantar una canción de alabanza a Dios. Cantar con alegría y gratitud es también una forma hermosa de ofrenda. Puedes hacerlo solo, con tu familia o con amigos. Recuerda, Dios ve nuestros corazones y se agrada cuando hacemos cosas con amor y fe. ¡Vamos a poner en práctica lo que aprendimos y mostrarle a Dios lo mucho que lo amamos! 🎁Juego. "La Búsqueda de la Mejor ofrenda para Dios" Objetivo: Enseñar a los niños sobre la importancia de dar lo mejor de sí mismos a Dios mediante una actividad de búsqueda y reflexión personal.

For Cain and Abel's project, I created a file folder game (FFG). because I wanted to reinforce doing what is right, and what God wants, not what we want, I created the game cards for the player to move forward if it is the right thing to do or move backward if it is the wrong choice. Review: Last week we talked about Adam and Eve. They were in the Garden of Eden. They were allowed to eat the fruit from every tree except for the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil. A serpent came along and said, “You know that you won’t really die if you eat that fruit, but you will be just like God, knowing good and evil.” What kind of fruit was it? We don’t know, the Bible doesn’t tell us. Eve thought it looked good and she wanted to be wise, so she ate it and gave it to Adam, and he ate from it. They saw that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. God came looking for them and after a discussion, God told them their punishment. The serpent was also punished. God made them tunics from skin and made them leave the garden. He put cherubim in the east of the garden and a flaming sword to guard the tree of life. Lesson I found in Genesis 4:1-5:5: Adam and Eve had a son and they named him Cain. Then they had a second son and named him Abel. God told Adam and Eve to build an altar from rocks and stones. They cut up wood and put it on top of the altar and then God wanted them to kill a male lamb and use it as a sacrifice. Adam and Eve taught their children about sin. Cain was a farmer and Abel was a shepherd. After a time, when they were giving their offerings to God, Cain brought his fruit that he grew in his garden and Abel brought the firstborn and the best of his flock of sheep. God liked and respected Abel’s offering. But He did not like Cain’s offering. You can print the table Cain/Abel display tags here. The Bible tells us that by faith Abel brought his best and gave his offering to God with the right attitude that God expected. (See article links below) Cain didn't show faith in his sacrifice. Cain was angry that God didn’t accept his offering and was jealous that God accepted Abel’s offering. Cain talked to Abel and after a time, when they were in the field, Cain killed his brother Abel. We are not told how Cain killed his brother, just that he did. God asked Cain “Where is your brother?” And Cain said, “I don’t know, am I my brother’s keeper?” God said “What have you done?

If I travel around someone will know who I am and kill me.” Now think about this, he doesn’t want to be killed, and he just killed his brother? God said that if someone killed Cain, God would take vengeance 7 times on that person.” God put a mark on Cain so no one would kill him. Cain left and went to Nod. He married and they had a son named Enoch. They built a city and called it Enoch, after their son. Adam and Eve had another son and they named him Seth.
