“Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? And why is your face gloomy? If you do well, will your face not be cheerful? And if you do not do well, sin is lurking at the door; and its desire is for you, but you must master it.””
Genesis 4:6-7 NASB2020
God saw in Cain’s face his anger and sin lurking…before he murdered Abel. His reaction to Abel was making him aware of the sin and telling him to master it…to resist it. God didn’t blame the rock, the club, the hands or whatever Cain used in the murder, He saw the sin that was attacking before and naming it after the act.
I’m not against tightening laws and addressing the ease of obtains weapons, but if we want to get out in front of senseless murders, we must equip people to master (resist) the sin of murder. That equipping begins and ends with the Word of God and a relationship with Jesus….LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.!
