Hebrews 12:2 (New International Version)
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Lord Jesus Christ is the Author and the Perfecter of Christformation in us. We must walk by faith and not by sight. This pair of eyes is the eyes of faith in Christ. Christformation does not happen the moment your eyes of faith are not on Him, for He is the author and the perfecter of Christformation in us.He sits down at God the Father's right hand to intercede for us that Christformation He started in our born again spirit be perfected in our mind(soul)and our new eternal Christ-conformed body so that it will be raised to eternal life. Our eyes of faith in Him to complete Christformation in us must be obediently be on Him, as the Holy Spirit leads and guides us to Him for the Heavenly Father's glory. His Son is His greatest Glory!More so when He is formed in us fully.
Matthew 13:16-17 (New International Version)
But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.
Abel and Cain were both born to Adam and Eve but what made the difference? God had opened the eyes of Abel to be able to see what God requires of him on earth but Cain's eyes was not opened to see the same requirement. God has to open our eyes for us to be able to see the Author and the Perfecter of our faith. For this is what God had warned Cain before he committed a great sin.
Genesis 4:6-7 (New International Version)
Then 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 opened Abel's eyes to see this but not Cain's. Cain went on to sin but Abel went to God.
