a) The thief should no longer steal.

‘Looking To Jesus.’
Hebrews 12:2.
a) We need to be looking to Jesus.
b) He is the Founder of our Faith.
c) He is the One Who perfects our Faith.
d) For the Joy that was set before Him Jesus endured the Cross and despised its shame.

Chris.
Someone who has repented and come to know Jesus Christ personally as their Lord and Saviour needs to bring forth the fruit of repentance in and from their lives. If there is no fruit of repentance we can, Biblically, doubt that person’s Salvation experience. One of the fruit of repentance is learning to share with people in need. A True Believer is not greedy or selfish.
