In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will talk about the eighth commandment: “You shall not steal.” They explain that stealing in the Bible is bigger than shoplifting or robbery and can include fraud, withholding what you owe, wage theft, plagiarism, and failing to use what God has given you in a faithful way. The conversation also looks at how stealing is a heart issue, how private property and honest work matter in Scripture, and why generosity is the godly opposite of theft. They discuss biblical examples like Zacchaeus, Judas, Achan, and the thief on the cross, along with passages from Exodus, Matthew, John, Ephesians, and more. If you want a simple, practical look at what this commandment means for everyday life, this episode helps connect Bible teaching to money, work, debts, and caring for others. Take time to ask where you may need repentance, restitution, or a more generous heart. If this episode helps you understand the Bible better, share it with someone who is learning the Christian faith.
