  Chapter 12

VIII   – Commandment: 8 Do Not Steal

 - Purpose: To show GOD owns us. We are HIS Servants and are expected to grow into Adopted Sons. We are not our own. HE has the right to discipline His Children.

 – Why does GOD discipline those HE loves? Without discipline we do not grow, we are cast away and cannot be used in HIS Plan and Work.

 Chapter 12 deals with The Discipline and Corrections we must endure - for All who are called into The Reconciliation of The World through The Plan of GOD.    The Early Church in Acts turned The World Upside Down but they believed though in great tribulation from Jew and Rome. History was foretold by JESUS and in The Revelation. Today many suffer in this world and in certain nations are sawn asunder. In the USA, we face Mystery Babylon and her Merchandising. Yet The LORD and we in HIM shall Overcome by Faith.

12:1-2 ‘Let us run with endurance, looking toward JESUS the author and finisher (Perfecter) of our Faith.’ for there is such a great cloud of witnesses....
