Looking to God for justification rather than self. Obedience follows.

I'm thinking along the lines of broken spirit and contrite heart of Psalm 51 and elsewhere.

But really, I should pull back from too much speculation. We're told that Cain offered fruit of the land and Abel offered a firstborn animal and the choicest parts, not my "what-if".
