LESSON 8.
The Seventh Commandment.
Which is the Seventh Commandment?
_Thou shalt not steal._
What does this mean?
_We should fear and love God that we may not take our neighbor's money
or goods, nor get them by false ware or dealing, but help him to improve
and protect his property and business._
1. _We should not steal;_ that means, _we should not take our neighbor's
money or goods._ Our neighbor's, our fellow-man's, money and his goods
do not belong to us, but to him _They are his property._ It is God's
will that men should have property, money, and goods that belong to
them. All the goods in the world come from Him, they are His gift. He
gives to every one as much earthly goods as He pleases, as much or as
little as is best for him. There always will be rich people and poor
people among us. _The property of our neighbor should be sacred to us
because it is given him by God, our heavenly Father._
