Genesis 4 reveals two distinct paths of humanity: the line of Cain, who built a world without God, and the line of Seth, who called upon the Lord's name. Cain's descendants created a civilization marked by defiance, self-glorification, and violence, yet still prospered through God's common grace. In contrast, Seth's line acknowledged God as their source, renewed faith in His promises, and established public worship. This ancient blueprint challenges us to examine whether we're building our lives on self-sufficiency or dependence on God, engaging culture without being captured by it, and making worship central to our existence.
