What Does the Bible Say About Stealing?

We know stealing is wrong, so why do it? Tempting situations can turn weak people into thieves if they should choose to take something or someone that doesn’t belong to them. From a biblical perspective, stealing is a sin and has severe consequences. In the Old Testament, God instructs His people not to steal, citing that “Whoever steals must certainly make restitution” (Exodus 22:1). Stealing is an act of dishonesty and disobedience against God’s law. As such, He commands us to repent for our sins and seek forgiveness.  


But it's important to remember that God doesn't just punish those who steal but also offers them mercy and grace. The Bible is full of stories about how God forgives those who turn away from their sinful ways and come back to Him in repentance. For example, when Zacchaeus repented for his actions as a tax collector and vowed to give back what he had taken, Jesus said that “salvation has come to this house” (Luke 19:9). 


God's mercy and grace are extended not just to those who repent for their stealing. He also provides an opportunity for them to become better people and make proper restitution for the wrongs they have done. In Proverbs 6:30-31, God says, “People do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy his hunger when he is starving. Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold; he must give all the goods of his house.” This verse shows that even though it is wrong to steal, God doesn't want us to put ourselves in desperate situations where we feel like we must steal just to survive.  


Ultimately, God desires for individuals to turn away from their sinful ways and seek His forgiveness. He wants us to lead holy lives that are pleasing and honoring to Him. Stealing is a sin and should not be taken lightly, but God's love and mercy can provide opportunities for those who repent of their wrongdoings and seek redemption in Christ Jesus. May we all strive to live lives that reflect this truth so that our actions bring glory to our Lord!
