Crouching at the door

​After God rejects Cain’s offering, Cain becomes very angry and God warns him with Saying, “If you don’t do well, sin is crouching at the door and you must master it.” He is saying, “Cain, you are on thin ice. You have allowed this anger to rear up in your life because your heart is not right and sin is crouching at the door and it wants to destroy you.” He pictures sin like an animal crouching, ready to pounce. That should bring to mind 1 Peter 5:8 where Satan is likened to a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. He's saying, “Cain, sin is at the door. You better guard your heart. Because if you don't, sin's going to pounce on you. You better master this.” Folks, Listen, if you don't become a victor over sin you will ultimately become sin's victim. And that's exactly what happens to Cain. He doesn't listen to God and as a result he intentionally kills his brother Abel. It's not an accident. Because he did not get victory over his sin he now becomes a victim of his sin as he becomes the first murderer in the Bible. Be careful, my friend. Sin is crouching at the door. If you don’t become a victor over it, you will likely become a victim to it.
