Unshakeable: A Faith That Endures Pt. 3

What does it truly mean to live by faith? This message takes us deep into one of Scripture's most foundational stories -- the account of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4 -- to show us that faith is not merely a feeling or a passive belief, but a gift that changes our hearts and demands action. We see how Abel's offering was accepted not because of favoritism, but because he approached God on God's terms, following the pattern of blood sacrifice established in Genesis 3. Cain, on the other hand, came to God his own way, with what he thought was good enough. The sobering truth is that we face the same choice every day -- will we approach God His way or our own way? The message draws a straight line from Abel's altar all the way to the cross, reminding us that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness, and that Jesus Christ is the one and only way to the Father. This is not a popular message in our culture, but it is the message of Scripture. As we examine our own lives, we are challenged to ask whether our faith is biblical faith or a corrupted version that makes room for unbelief and disobedience while still expecting God's blessing.
