Sin, power and effects
Sin takes hold of Cain, despite something good. Sin captures. Sin's curse.
Despite dying and Cain living, Abel had a righteousness that Cain did not have.
Enoch had faith in God, which inevitably pleased God.
Ch 6: Human wickedness will get worse and worse. God takes sin seriously. It grieves Him and must be punished, but He will provide a way of salvation.
Noah was a man of faith. He was righteous and did exactly what God had commanded Him. He walked with God.
God's part in salvation was provision. Noah's was obedience.
God saves us through judgment. Sin's curse affects us, but God saves us from it. Sin's consequences affect us, but don't control us forever. Sin's presence affects us, but not forever!
