God sees every theft and eternally punishes everyone, who does not repent of his sin. Therefore we must carefully guard against falling into this sin. If we have wrongfully acquired our neighbor’s possessions, we must confess our sin and, as far as possible, make restitution.
1 Thess. 4:36: For this is the will of God... that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter, because that the Lord is the avenger of all such.
Eph. 4:28: Let him that stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Assignment: Read Luke 19:8: Zaccheus promised to pay back what he had acquired through wrongful means.
