LIVE ACCEPTED

Genesis 4:3-5 (KJV)
“3 And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5 But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”
The lesson in this is, we do not give to be accepted, we give because we are accepted; likewise, we do not live holy to be accepted, we live holy because we are accepted. When giving and holiness becomes an issue of rejection, we totally miss what giving and holiness is all about. Living accepted empowers us to give and it empowers us to be holy in our giving.
