Reflection Questions

1. What does today’s passage teach us about sin? What does it teach us about God’s Amazing Grace towards sinners? 
2. Cain’s murder of Abel was ultimately an act of hatred toward God. How does this reshape the way you think about “ordinary” sins, like being impatient with your spouse or children, bitterness, lust, comparison, or harsh words? What does repentance look like in those moments?
3. Cain’s rebellion eventually produces Lamech, who is violent, vengeful, and sexually unfaithful. How does Genesis 4 challenge us to think about the spiritual legacy you are building within your marriage and home? What habits or routines are you doing or could you start doing that help you disciple your children and point them to Jesus rather than leaving that to the world?
4. Moses ends the chapter by telling us that Seth’s line is marked by worship. “At that time people began to call upon the name of the Lord.” What does it look like for your home to be marked by worship rather than worry, busyness, or distraction? What are steps you can start taking to lead your family in that endeavor?
