II. By faith Able offered a more acceptable sacrifice - What distinguished sacrifice from sacrifice? Gen. 4:1-7
III. New Covenant Sacrifice - We don't sacrifice anymore, do we?? Heb. 13:15; Rom. 12:1; 1 Pet. 2:5
IV. How then do we emulate Abel's faith in reliance on God's grace and for the glory of Christ?
1. You must approach God in the way He has commanded in order to be acceptable to Him.
2. You need to be justified in your person before your gifts and your obedience can be pleasing to God.
3. You must never trust in the outward forms of religion - trust in Christ such that the outward forms are but the inevitable expression of a true, spiritual worship. Ps. 50:23, 51:17
4. When you worship God in Spirit and in truth, you can expect to be persecuted by the unbelieving.
Conclusion - God's approval is greater than life itself.
