The first family was dysfunctional. Adam and Eve were driven out of the Garden of Eden for their rebellion against God. Cain killed Abel. And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, "For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed" (Genesis 4:25; NKJV).
And Jehovah said unto Cain, "Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: am I my brother's keeper?" (Genesis 4:9; ASV).
Cain was his brother's keeper. He chose to go his own way (see Jude 11). Let us do better than the first kids. Let us be about the business of being our brother's keeper to the glorification of God.
