In the first murder, Cain was a tiller of the ground and Abel, his brother, was a keeper of sheep. There came a time when Cain did bear the fruits of the earth and his Brother Abel did the same from the sheep, they both brought there offerings before God, and God favored Abel’s offering over Cain’s. This made Cain full of anger and his face darkened. God said to Cain “Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him” (Genesis 4:6-7). This is an obvious reprimand by God to Cain. He might have well said you must do better to gain my approval. There were no wo

rds of encouragement; there was no comforting, just cold hard rejection. Cain was obviously upset at God and directed his anger at his younger brother Abel. “Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let us go out’; and while they were in the open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and Killed him” (Genesis 4:8). God did hear the blood of Abel crying up to him from the ground and questioned Cain on where Abel was, Cain said he was not his brothers keeper, and God did grow very angry for he knew what Cain had done. God then cursed Cain from the Earth, and branded him for all to know what Cain was, and that no man was to kill Cain for he was, in a sense, protected by God so he could suffer his punishment.

Because God is a jealous God, he will shower love on his people. Jealousy is clearly related to a concept of ownership, and the longing to be involved ion a loving relationship. The next attribute is that of anger. “Vengeance is mine, I will pay them back, for the time when they make a false step. For the day of their ruin is close, doom is rushing towards them, for he will see to t that their power fails. (Deuteronomy 32:35). This anger of God is His reaction against human sin. Anger runs in every single person. There is no getting around that, because to have a God that lets people walk over him is a cowardly God. By him showing anger, he instills the sense of fear in the backs of every persons minds.

There are four characteristics of God that come out of the of love. The first characteristic is that of patience. Unlike humans, God has the ability to be patient in all situations. He patiently waits on his children to turn back to him. One usually notices or needs God’s patience when he/she is acting in a bad way. Another characteristic is God’s faithfulness towards mankind.
