Bible Question: what does God say about people stealing |
Bible Answer: This could be a very exhaustive list of verses. The eighth commandment sums up the spirit of them all. Do not take from others what belongs to them. Perhaps the most important thing we often miss about such commands is what it means when we disobey them. It means God is not really as incredibly worthy as He desires to be in our hearts and minds. God is the Creator and Maker of truth, food, home, purpose for life, companions, and life itself. He is the Giver of all those good things to mankind in Genesis One the same ways He is today. When we merely think of taking something from someone else, God is not in the throne of our minds, so we are disobeying the first command to treat God alone as most worthy. To actually take reveals what we really worship, and takes what God chose to bless someone else with. |
