Title: Lesson 9: The Eighth Commandment
Topic: Biblical Law: A Reflection of God’s Character

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 4

This week, Mark discusses the Eighth Commandment: Don’t Steal.

NOTE: Yes, Mark skipped the Seventh Commandment: Don’t Commit Adultery. Why? Because Pastor Ed Ethridge preached on that commandment for the sermon last week. You can hear a segment of that sermon each day this week.

If you have a prayer request, need Scripture encouragement, or would like a copy of Mark’s lessons each week, email wantmore@biblical-literacy.org

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why are there laws about the right to own property?

Are there some people who do not believe “normal citizens” have this right?

Where do we get the word “Communism” from? Just look at Karl Marx. Don’t worry… Mark Lanier doesn’t get “too political”.

How do we know that God is a giver, not a taker, and we should be the same? (See Scriptures below.)

Applying the Eighth Commandment to Our Own Lives: Grow before the Lord in generosity, self-discipline, and transformation. More tomorrow…

Questions/Issues Discussed:

The Eighth Commandment Reflects God’s Character:

Are you content with what you have?

Is it okay to desire things? Yes. Is it okay to desire things you shouldn’t have? No. Is it okay to steal the things you want and definitely shouldn’t have? Absolutely not.

Why does God want us to work and not steal? Mark offers a warning, though, about not working too much. He says: “God is not only interested in you; He is sufficient for you.”

Why are there laws about the right to own property? This is an interesting history lesson. Tune in tomorrow as Mark continues with this and talks about one man who did not agree with this and has many, many followers…

Questions/Issues Discussed:

SETTING THE TABLE

Mark continues to discuss who God is.
How is God personal with His creation, specifically human beings?
How does the Law reflect God’s love for us?

PREPARE THE FOOD
Mark says this: “The Biblical Law reflected God’s holy ethics in a way that would guide Israel in its time and place in history to fulfill God’s purposes by walking in God’s holiness.” Why is it so hard for some people to understand the importance of the Law – God’s Law?

Mark has more BUCKETS for us this week! Listen close for explanations.
Get Along Bucket
Social Justice Bucket
Social Status Bucket

SETTING THE TABLE

Who used Romans 13:1-2 as a reference to give them authority?
Who is the authority in America? This one is a little tricky…
Who was the “god of judgment”? Why does he have scepter?
Who were other “gods”? Were they the authority? Why did people bow to them?
When God made the Law at Mount Saini, what happened? Are God’s Laws still relevant today?

Mark reminds us: “God made us to give not to get.”

Mark reminds us of King George II and III… How and why did America declare independence from England?

Day 5

Are the 10 Commandments the only laws Christians should follow today?

Mark began a new series a few weeks ago “Biblical Law: A Reflection of God’s Character”. This week’s focus is on whether or not some aspects of the Law, especially from the Old Testament, still apply to Christians today.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

MYTH #1 ABOUT BIBLICAL LAW: The Law doesn’t apply to us today because Jesus nailed it to the cross.

What about Scriptures like Romans 6:14 “the believer is not under law, but under grace” and Ephesians 2:15 “abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances”? What do these passages mean? Mark reminds us that we must look at MORE Scripture before and after certain verses to see the full context… Did Jesus abolish the Law?

MYTH #2 ABOUT BIBLICAL LAW: The moral sections of the Old Testament Law is binding on believers, but not “other” sections.

Why does this sound so appealing to many people? What are “moral” laws in the Old Testament? Do Old Testament Laws that are not mentioned in the New Testament still apply to us today?

How many Old Testament Laws are there? HINT: More than you would want to follow! What did Jesus say about the Law? What did others say about the Law? Must people convert to Judaism to be a Christian? More on this tomorrow…

Day 5

Science offers great hopes for tomorrow. Scientific knowledge is constantly expanding and things that were science-fiction 50 years ago are taken for granted today.

To some degree, people may fall prey to the idea that all areas of civilization progress like science does. This assessment would not be accurate or fair. A clear example is in the area of law.

FOCUS QUESTION: What was unique about the Biblical law that God gave to Moses on Mt. Sanai?

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What were the commands AFTER the 10 Commandments?

Did God command any of the other legal codes before OR after the 10 Commandments?

Back to the Basics: God made everyone to be in His image. We share God’s moral make-up. What is good for God is good for us. Our holiness comes from Jesus (not the law).

Closing Scripture: Psalm 17:15

Tune in next week as Mark discusses the different kinds of laws God gave Israel and how they reflect who He is.

Should our faith be centered around the law?

What is the most important law? What is the second most important law? Mark reminds us: “The law tells us what to do, but it doesn’t give us life.”

What did Paul write in Galatians about the law?

How does the law lead us to Christ? When you are young, you need help to learn how to live. When you’re older, you still need help! That is what the law is for – to lead us to Christ.
