Is #Jesus a #socialist? What does #God think about the #right to private property? But wait, does the commandment against stealing only pertain to material things? What are the only three ways to receive goods and services? Are we allowed to not only possess property but to protect it? The Bible has much to say about what how we should use those possessions, but it definitely follows that we have to own and protect property in order to use it to glorify God and to help others. Can we steal from God? Is it possible to steal from ourself? If you think the Old Testament penalties for stealing were harsh, just remember that not measuring up to any part of God’s law means falling short of the Glory of God. And if you don’t accept the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will still be guilty. Let Brother Tommy remind you of all the areas you may have forgotten about like taxes, wages, gambling, and tithing. Maybe you are sensing a theme through these messages on the Ten Commandments. If it seems like it is impossible to keep any of these rules, you are correct. But God sacrificed His Son to pay the penalty for us and give us the power to live abundantly.
