Note sull'episodio
By Pastor Jason Lim
The last, but not the least. The 10th commandment is often the root of many other sins.
1. MEANING
This command forbids sinful coveting—craving what’s illegitimate or desiring good things for wrong reasons. At root, covetousness doubts God’s goodness, love, wisdom, and power, so we grasp to secure our own happiness.
2. MISERY
Yet this sinful coveting never ends well. It results in evil- hurts/wars/quarrels/fights. It is empty- Ecc 5:10, Luk 12:15, Mar 8:36. And it is enslaving- 1Ti 6:9-12.
3. MEETING
God’s people can live out this Law, because Christ lives in us. We have a new Position (no more slaves to sin), a new Passion (a new heart that loves God) and a new Power (His Spirit in us).
