“You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15).
Most people don’t think that God considers theft to be theft until the value of what is taken impresses Him. However, if I open your wallet and take just one dollar, I’m a thief, and the Bible says that thieves will not enter the kingdom of God. What would be worth stealing for the loss of your soul? Jesus asked, “What is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Matthew 16:26).
If you take something that is not your own for personal gain it is stealing. That makes you a thief, no matter size or cost of item, or the circumstance in which you had did it. God will judge you guilty for breaking the law and sentence you accordingly. You must admit to your transgression by name, repent from your sin and ask God for his forgiveness. It is only then that you will escape the wrath of hell and enjoy eternal life in heaven. May the Joy of Jesus be with you always.
