More Excellent Sacrifice
Sermon by Clyde FinkleaGod does not always accept worship offered to Him because some come with a hidden agenda that reveals they are yielding to the spirit of Satan rather than to His Holy Spirit. This point emerges from the example of Cain and Abel, the first recorded worship service in Scripture. Both brothers approached God on a commanded occasion with an offering tied to their respective occupations, yet God respected Abel and his offering while rejecting Cain and his. The rejection stemmed not from the nature of the gift itself but from the condition of Cain's heart. Cain's works were evil, marked by bitterness and jealous envy toward his brother, so that he came before God appearing righteous while actually being influenced by the wicked one. This hidden agenda prevented true worship. Abel, by contrast, offered a more excellent sacrifice through a broken and contrite heart that produced righteous deeds, which God imputed to him as righteousness. The account demonstrates that when sin lies at the door and is allowed to fester without repentance, it leads to greater evil, as seen when Cain's envy turned to murder. The same principle applies today. True worshipers must worship the Father in spirit and truth, which requires yielding exclusively to God's Spirit and maintaining a pure heart free of guile, deceit, or hidden agenda. A heart that harbors secret motives cannot be acceptable, for such a heart is not single toward God. Those who fail to discern and resist the opposing spirit produce works that testify against them, just as Cain's did. Therefore, acceptance of worship depends on continual yielding to God's Spirit, a true and pure heart, and the absence of any hidden agenda that would allow Satan's influence to operate.
