Genesis 4 Bible study on Cain and Abel explaining how sin is progressive, how God warns us, why obedience matters, and why grace does not erase consequences—even though God remains merciful.

In this episode of Bible Study for Women, we study Genesis chapter 4 to understand the nature of sin—not just what sin is, but how it works.

The story of Cain and Abel reveals that sin doesn’t usually appear suddenly. It builds. God warns us. We have the ability to rule over it. And when ignored, sin creates consequences that are real, lasting, and far-reaching—without canceling God’s mercy.

This episode challenges shallow grace theology and helps you see why obedience is not about perfection, but protection.

• Why sin is progressive, not accidental

• How God warns before sin escalates

• What it means to “rule over” sin (Genesis 4:7)

• Why consequences can be permanent without meaning God stopped loving you

• How God can discipline, protect, and provide—even after failure

• Why grace does not make sin harmless

Genesis 4 teaches us that God’s mercy does not rewind choices—but it does restrain destruction. This is why Scripture matters: it forms discernment before damage is done.

• Where have I minimized sin instead of responding to God’s warning?

• What pattern has been building that I need to confront now?

• What consequences am I living with—and where do I still see God’s mercy?

Read Genesis 4 every day this week.

• Circle every warning

• Underline every consequence

• Box every act of mercy

What does the Bible really say about women?

In this episode of Bible Study for Women, we go back to Genesis 1–3 to uncover God’s original design for women—before culture, tradition, or half-truths distorted the picture. If you’ve ever felt minimized, misunderstood, or unsure of your identity as a woman of faith, this conversation brings clarity straight from Scripture.

We explore what it means to be created in God’s image, the true meaning of the word “helper” (ezer kenegdo), the strength and influence woven into God’s design for women, and what the fall reveals about partnership, agreement, and responsibility.

This episode is for women who are ready to stop shrinking, understand the Bible with confidence, and live rooted in God’s truth—not opinions.
