This passage really goes to show us how much God really loves us. However, just because God loves us does not mean that our actions will not have consequences. When you punish a child for doing something they shouldn’t do, does that mean that you don’t love them? No, it actually means that you love them enough to want the best for them. And you know that what they were doing was not going to yield the fruit that you want for their life. This is how God feels towards us. We are His children and He is constantly trying to keep us safe and help us come back to Him. But, we cannot do this by our own way, and must know through consequences when we are doing wrong.

“Sin is crouching at the door” is such a scary but true statement. The devil is always sitting there, waiting for the perfect time to try and pull you away from God. He wants us to think that we have messed up beyond the point of return. “Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” We are a fallen people. This verse is not saying that we will never sin. However, it is saying that we must fight the urge and not let sin consume us and destroy our relationship with God. Cain chose, even after God’s warning about sin, to kill his brother. He heard His voice and ran the completely opposite way. We have all been here (maybe not murder though), in a place where we chose to let sin consume us instead of asking God for help. Even after being confronted about his sin, Cain chose to double down and lie to God. God is all knowing and all powerful. Why do we think that we can outsmart Him??? Satan is the reason. He tries to get into our heads and convince us that we are smarter, better, more fun, and know better than God. He tries to convince us to lie and cheat and steal and kill. Whatever will pull us further from God, he will try and convince us to do. We are called as Christians to fight the pull of sin and run to God with our arms open for him.

Psalm 141:5. Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

My older brother used to tease me with mean comments. When I fought back he would say, The truth hurts.

Capital T Truth does often hurt! That double edged sword slices my high notions of self and ego and it is painful. I’m learning to stand and accept the smite and instead of shooting the messenger, accept and learn from it. What I’ve learned so far is, the more you do this, the easier it gets!

What a great statement: When accountability comes our way, our response determines the course of our lives.

I didn't see my jealousy or revenge as the sins they are, but justified my actions by what was being done to me (or what i assumed was being done to me). Only with Jesus and holy spirit have I changed my perspective and my attitude toward others. my new heart, and all those around me.

In reply to Susan Burley. Susan, it says that Cain lived in the land of Nod. It doesn't state he took his wife from there. Enduring Truth states that "Cain obviously married his sister." From MacArthur Study Bible: "By Moses' time, this kind of close marriage was forbidden." Many resources I checked all point to Cain marrying his sister. Hope this helps.
