The right to say 'No'

Genesis 4:1-8

1. What right did God grant Cain?

The LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."

God grant Cain the right to do what is right or wrong.

1 Peter 3:15-16

2. How should we answer people?

Our hearts should be set apart Christ as Lord.

Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
