Dr. John MuhlfeldFebruary 15, 2015Passage: Exodus 22:1-15
Whether we intend to damage someone else’s property or not, God expects us to take full responsibility for our actions. We have a duty to restore what was lost based on the eighth commandment. But what about when our offense is against God himself and what has been lost is our own righteousness? In that case, restitution can only be made by a perfect substitute who is willing to take personal responsibility for our sin, and who has done so on the cross.
