Abel offered his best; Cain didn’t. That’s it — the first recorded sin after Eden is jealousy over worship. Jesus references Abel’s blood as the beginning of a chain of righteous martyrdom stretching to Zechariah (Matt 23:35). Hebrews 11:4 says “by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.” The first human to die was also the first to be called righteous.
