📖 Story of Scripture — Day 5
“Sin Spreads”
Genesis 4 (ESV)

Genesis 4 shows us how quickly sin grows when it is left unchecked. What begins as jealousy in Cain’s heart soon turns into anger, then violence, and finally the first murder. Worship is distorted. Relationships are shattered. The first family is fractured by sin’s destructive power.

Yet even here, God’s mercy is present.

Before Cain acts, God warns him that sin is crouching at the door, calling him to rule over it rather than be ruled by it. And after the tragedy, God restrains evil, showing that judgment is never separated from His patience. Sin spreads—but God’s voice still calls people to repentance.

As The Story of Scripture continues, we are reminded that sin always multiplies when ignored, but God continually intervenes, warns, and pursues hearts with grace.

Reflection: What “small” sin might God be warning you to confront before it grows?
