By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous. God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. Hebrews 11:4
Abel was killed by his brother early in Genesis. Although he was killed thousands of years ago, his righteousness, his faith and his memory still speaks to us. When we have a testimony of righteousness and wisdom that comes from God, even though we pass on, our lives can still speak. Our words and our actions can live on indefinitely as long as they are still spoken of by anyone. People often talk of "losing a loved one." When we still speak of them, we didn't lose them.
