Abel
Generation 2 from Adam
Biography
The second son of Adam and Eve, Abel was a shepherd who brought the firstborn of his flock as an offering to the Lord. God respected Abel's offering, which was given in faith. His brother Cain, consumed with jealousy, murdered him in the field. Abel's blood cried out from the ground, and he became the first martyr. The New Testament commends his faith.
Abel represents righteous suffering and is the first martyr. His acceptable sacrifice by faith prefigures Christ's perfect sacrifice and demonstrates that God looks at the heart.
