355. Verse 5 And for Cain and his gift He had no respect; and Cain's anger was set ablaze and his face' fell.

'Cain', as has been stated, means faith separated from love, or the kind of doctrine which allows faith to be separated. 'His gift for which He had no respect' means, as previously, that his worship was unacceptable. 'Cain's anger was set ablaze and his face ¹ fell' means a change as to interiors; 'anger' means the fact that charity had departed, and 'face' the interiors, which are said 'to fall' when they undergo change.

Title: Sin: The Way In and the Way Out

Topic: First Coming

Summary: Scripture says that sin comes first into our desires, then into our thoughts, and finally, if we let it, into our actions. When it hits the level of action, everything changes. The way it leaves us is the same way it came: first from our actions, then from our thoughts, and finally from our desires.
