The painful journey starts .....

Extracted from Genesis 4:

Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.


Comments: A friend had asked for a more detailed prose and so I will try to explain more. This incident details on how the first family was started. Though God, had banished Adam and Eve from Eden, he didn't reject them forever. By submitting to sin.. to bad, and hence to satan, Adam and Eve had chosen a tough path. Immediately the world had come into Satan's power and everything was difficult for them. Worse, they had the curse too.

However, we should note here that they didn't lose the faith they had on God. When Eve gave birth to Cain, she obviously would have been in a hell of a pain, and yet, she would have prayed to God in her distress. And hence, when she delivered, she gave her testimony, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man".. Yes, its true, that God punishes us for our sins, for God is a God of righteousness and of Justice. But at the same time, he is a God of mercy too. So, when anyone cries out to God in their pain, he reaches out to them immediately as a parent..
