We live in a world that’s heavily commercialized. Everything is an opportunity for profit—including land and natural resources. In order to monetize such things, we need laws that allow for private ownership. The downside, however, is that when this happens, we end up more concerned about our own “rights” and less concerned about our neighbors. Nations violently defend borders and corporations undertake projects that put the local communities at risk. Scripture, however, counteracts the idea of private ownership and goes out of its way to show that God is the true proprietor. We’re only tenants, and we’re instructed by the real landlord to walk the Way alongside the stranger next to us.
