Exodus 20:15 - Do not steal.

Jerry Bridges has observed that there are three basic attitudes we can take toward possessions.

The first says, “What’s yours is mine; I’ll take it.” This is the attitude of the thief.

The second says, “What’s mine is mine; I’ll keep it.” Since we are selfish by nature, this is the attitude that most people have most of the time.

The third attitude—the godly attitude—says, “What’s mine is God’s; I’ll share it.”

(Philip Graham Ryken and R. Kent Hughes, Exodus: Saved for God’s Glory (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 2005), 647.)

Exodus 20:15 - Do not steal.

When a person steals, they are therefore saying that God is not as generous as they wish Him to be.

With this example (2 Samuel 11-12) as background we have some indication of a draft definition of stealing. It is an act that springs from dissatisfaction with what God has given us and that results in the taking of an object, possession or right that is important to someone else in order to satisfy our own desires. Because it springs from self-centredness it is therefore not only against a neighbour but also against God.

(Andrew Reid, Exodus: Saved for Service, ed. Paul Barnett and Belinda Pollard, Reading the Bible Today Series (Sydney, South NSW: Aquila Press, 2013), 233.)
