The Bible doesn't say Cain was the first child born to Adam and Eve, but the first son. Adam and Eve no doubt trained and modeled the correct sacrifices God required. Abel brought the right sacrifice, but Cain brought what he had - the fruit of the ground.
If you have a passion for something, you're vulnerable to anger and bitterness. Without passion, it's impossible to stir those emotions. The more passionate you have for something the more anger or joy you're capable of. Cain had a passion for God, but chose to do things his way not God's way.
God gave him an opportunity to make things right, telling Cain sin was crouching at the door. He declared that if Cain offered the right sacrifice it would be accepted. Instead, Cain killed his brother, Abel, because of envy. Cain's passion for God was corrupted, and it led to offering the wrong sacrifice and resulted in murder.
