If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
- Gen. 4:7 (KJV)
Even though Cain made an error in his offering to God, God showed mercy to Cain by giving Cain a choice. The choice was to do things well or to not do things well. To do things well, shake off what you did wrong because dwelling on a wrong decision will lead to you making another wrong decision. If you do not choose to do well, then that opens the door for sin to creep into your life because a lack of desire and motivation leads to even more mistakes. Nevertheless, choosing to do right will swing things back into your favor because you have been given authority over sin from God.
Numerical Breakdown: (4) To stay in God's Word, choose to do the right thing. (7) To be perfected by God, realize that He has accepted you. (2) Obey God or you will not do well in life.
