God’s holiness demands justice just as much as His nature defines love; to deny His judgment is to deny His very nature. The “Yeah, but… God is love” objection fails because it tries to pit God’s love against God’s justice.
Sin did not begin in the field—it began at the altar. Cain’s fall was a progression: unbelief in worship, pride under correction, and hatred of righteousness. God warned him that sin was crouching at the door, ready to rule him, but Cain refused to master it. The result was not just a broken relationship with his brother, but bloodshed and separation from the presence of the Lord. This sermon exposes the “way of Cain” and calls every listener to examine worship, respond rightly to Scripture’s correction, and submit to God before sin grows into death.
