My Offering:I don’t believe I can make it

Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have

brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.

The LORD looked with favour on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favour. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

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 rule over it.”

Genesis 4:1-7

God received Abel's sacrifice because he stood in a proper relationship with God and made the offering in a manner acceptable to Him. In this way, Abel successfully laid the foundation of faith in Adam's family. He serves as an example that any fallen person can make an offering acceptable to God provided he satisfies the necessary conditions.

Exposition of the Divine Principle, p. 192

we must establish the foundation of faith by making the symbolic offering, which fulfils a condition of indemnity for the restoration of all things and a condition of indemnity for the symbolic restoration of people.

Exposition of the Divine Principle, p. 195

The expression “the foundation of faith has been established” refers to a conditional position where someone is able to indemnify the Fall, which occurred due to disbelief in God,

and stand again in the hopeful position of Adam, who can be trusted by Heaven.
