Sin vs. God’s Word #12

 Stealing vs. God’s Word

This is pretty well known already I believe but we will cover it!

“Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭28‬ ‭

““You shall not steal.”

‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20‬:‭15‬ ‭

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”

‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭

Pretty simple…don’t steal! Remember this includes all theft like taxes and stealing time from an employer, etc.

So what are we to do?

“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.”

‭‭II Thessalonians‬ ‭3‬:‭10‬ ‭

“In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.”

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭14‬:‭23‬ 

“And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,”

‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬ 

Work as God intended for what you get! God blesses this! Do not steal!!!
