By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. (Hebrews 11:4 KJV)
Abel had offered a blood sacrifice and gave of his best (Genesis 4:4). But many have offered blood sacrifice, but are not accepted. Many have offered their best, but for the wrong causes.
Abel was accepted, not because he offered a blood sacrifice, nor because he offered his best, but because it was offered by faith to God, for without faith no one can please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is, and He rewards those who seek Him diligently (Hebrews 11:6).
