The Eighth Commandment: Being good stewards of God’s gifts, taking care of our own and our neighbors’ possessions.

We will continue with our study of the Ten Commandments. This Sunday we are studying the eighth commandment. This commandment deals with our stewardship of the gifts that God gives us. Everything that exists is owned by God. But he provides gifts to men. We will consider how this commandment teaches us to be good stewards of the things God gives. This is part of how we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Scripture references: Exodus 20:15, Ephesians 4:28, 1 Timothy 6:1-19
We will consider these four questions concerning the commandment:
1. What is forbidden in this commandment?
2. What duties are required?
3. How has Christ fulfilled it?
4. How can we begin to live it in him?
