Is the Sixth Commandment really as simple as it seems? “You shall not murder” may sound straightforward, but God’s Word reveals that this command reaches far deeper than outward actions.
In this sermon from Exodus 20:13, we explore the hidden ways our hearts break this command, uncovering envy, hatred, anger, and vindictiveness as forms of murder in God’s eyes. Learn how our lives belong to God, how Christ perfectly obeyed this command for us, and how the law calls us not only to avoid harm but to actively honor and protect life. Discover why this commandment is far more demanding than it appears—and why we are in constant need of Christ’s grace.
