Hebrews 11:4: Abel's sacrifice was better because it was offered by faith

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 16) 00:19:28 – 00:21:03

Resolving the Cain/Abel question using Hebrews 11

Mike turns to Hebrews 11:4 which states Abel offered "a better sacrifice" "by faith" and God testified about his gifts. The only scriptural distinction given between the two offerings is faith. The heart/intent of the worshiper, not the type of gift, is what Scripture identifies as the difference. Mike concludes the typological explanation should not be made the primary cause.
