About this episode

What does it really mean to live by faith? In Beyond the Cherubim, explore the story of Abel—the first man commended for his faith. His offering was accepted, while his brother Cain’s was rejected. But why? What made Abel’s faith different?

This episode unpacks Hebrews 11:4 and Genesis 4, revealing the contrast between genuine faith and man-made religion. Abel obeyed God’s command for blood sacrifice, while Cain tried to approach God on his own terms. This ancient battle between true worship and self-made religion continues today. Discover how Abel’s faith points directly to Jesus Christ, the final sacrifice who opens the way to God.

If you’ve ever wondered how to truly please God, this message will give you the answer. Listen now to hear how Abel’s testimony still speaks and why it matters for your faith today.
