What God did not tell him is that only the Lamb that was slain before the creation of the world is the basis of acceptance with Him. Eph 1:
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
1 pet 1:
18Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Abel had been given Faith to rely on the coming blood of the Lamb, and so his sacrifice reflected that. Abel had been chosen in Christ, so he was accepted in the beloved, but cain was not..
none can do well to enter into eternal life, Jesus made that clear by the story of the rich young ruler. Thats the same thing God meant when He told cain what He told Him, knowing that it was impossible for Him to do it...Just as Jesus knew it was impossible for the rich young ruler to keep all the commandments of God..
Also,God is no respecter of persons,God actually came to Cain and told him what to do to be accepted,
