How do we know the doctrine of God's ownership of property is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that all ownership ultimately belongs to God, as seen in Leviticus 25:23, stating, 'The land is mine.'

The doctrine of God's ownership over property is firmly established in Scripture, where God explicitly states in Leviticus 25:23, 'The land shall not be sold forever, for the land is mine.' This underscores the biblical principle that God is the creator and sustainer of all that exists, including every form of property. By comprehending that every possession is given by grace, believers can appreciate their stewardship rather than ownership, leading to a greater sense of responsibility and humility. The realization that we are merely custodians of what God has entrusted to us promotes a culture of gratitude and generosity, as we recognize that our material possessions are opportunities to show love and compassion rather than personal entitlement.
