Thou Shall Not Steal: What the Bible Says about Stealing
By Betty Miller
The thief cometh not, but
for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might
have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
The thief Jesus is referring to in this scripture is Satan, himself. The
Lord contrasts the work of the devil as stealing, killing and
destroying, while the work of the Lord is to bring abundant life to His
people. Notice that a thief doesn’t stop at the one sin of stealing, but
rather progresses on to kill and destroy. Many people do not realize
that what they think as just taking seemingly little things, can lead to
taking bigger things and ultimately one becomes a thief. The “little
fox” of stealing the towels from the motel, shop lifting small items,
and keeping things that do not belong to them, could lead to a dangerous
pattern which could eventually lead to one being imprisoned for theft.
AMEN
