Hebrews 11: 4
By faith Abel still
speaks, even though he is dead.
This verse was written by the author of Hebrews for we read
in Genesis that God told Cain, “Your
brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.” This is a mystery but the
bible tells us that our life is in our blood. Perhaps the life of Abel had not
been totally drained from the blood of Abel as he was freshly murdered by his
brother.
This verse is meant to care about justice and about righting
wrongs and about defending the powerless. It also reminds us that no one can
get away from their crime and sin because God will find out and He will require
the sinner to answer for His sin as Cain was.
It is in the nature of man to sin and it is also in our
nature to try and hide our sin. The first man and woman did the same, they
tried to hide their sin from God but He already knew. In the same manner all
men too will try and hide their sins, we may be successful in hiding it from
other men but God is omniscience and He knows all sin whether hidden or not.
Just like Ananias and Sapphira, who tried to hide their sin
of cheating the Holy Spirit, their sin was revealed to Peter and they paid the
ultimate price for sinning and hiding the sins from God.
Throughout the bible, we also learn that God is knows all
things and He sees all things that may be hidden to man but will never be
hidden from God. Like king David, when he committed adultery with Bathsheba, he
thought he could also hid his sin but God knew all of his actions and called
them out.
Therefore we are reminded and warned that we can never hide
our sins from God, even when we do He can reveal them when He wants to. The
lesson here is that we must never sin against God and men knowing that we can
never hide it from God.
Let us not walk in sin but let us walk in holiness and the
righteousness of Jesus Christ.
