Day 332. Why does God forbid stealing? (2025)

Today is day 332 and we are studying The Eighth Commandment.

332. Why does God forbid stealing?

God is Creator and Lord of this world, and all things come from him. Therefore, I must never take what God has not entrusted to me. (Exodus 23:19a; Leviticus 19:10–11a, 23–25; 1 Chronicles 29:14; Psalms 24:1–2; 50:7–12; Romans 13:9; Ephesians 4:28)

We will conclude today by praying Proper 9 found on page 617 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
