The moral law of God is an expression of the moral character of God's Being. This series seeks to expound what we know of that law from the Bible and what its requirements are for the Christian believer in his understanding of Truth, and in his conduct. Rightly understanding the moral law is foundational for many Christian truths. We now are in the Decalogue itself. We have already examined the first seven commandments, Today we take up the eighth commandment, the Sanctity of Property. As with all of the commandments of God, this commandment must be understood in its deep spiritual significance as to what it requires as well as what it forbids. The very structure of ownership was defined by God through His act of Creation. God is entitled to and owns all that He created, including Mankind. He is further entitled, as owner, to place the stewardship of all of His creation in the hands of Man, as He deems proper, as described in Genesis 2. To steal what God has placed in the hands of another is a violation of what God has authorized as well as a demonstration of an ungodly attachment to the possessions themselves. Further, it disregards the purposes of God regarding the responsibilities He has granted to others. This is part 1 of our study of the Eighth Commandment.
