God’s life-plan for us includes, among other things, work and wages, money and possessions, the right to buy, sell, own and establish businesses. People have the right to acquire earthly possessions through honest means, and they also have the right of ownership.
2 Thess. 3:10: If any would not work, neither should he eat.
Luke 10:7: The laborer is worthy of his hire.
Assignment: Read Gen. 23:3-18: Abraham buys property, and Mark 1:19-20: Zebedee’s fishing enterprise and its workers. Discuss: What are we to think of unemployment? Read Matt. 20:1-12.
