A Satisfied Life

Prohibitions of Law 8
Prescriptions of Law 8

Don’t steal from men or God through your thoughts, words, or actions. Stealing is the caterpillar of the earth. Be contented in your heart with what God has given to you. Teach others to live within their means. Speak up when someone is stealing - like when someone is spray-painting another’s property. Provide for your needs, your family’s inheritance, and for the poor.

Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ:

1. What is the antidote to stealing? Know that you are rich – very rich. You have Christ…an exceedingly great reward. All your sins are gone through Christ’s shed blood and your name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Your real treasures are there and none can steal them. They are there for eternity. Capture this in your heads and into your hearts.

2. When you get a sense of your riches in Christ the things of this world will become vainly dim. You would not hold on too tightly to things of this world.

3. You would share without sadness.
