Kingdom Love
One of the things that we've seen over and over again during this study of The Ten Commandments is that what God describes in them is more than just a way to live in the world, but a way of Being in our soul. The commandments don't merely describe things we should or shouldn't do, but attitudes of heart we should cultivate. Since that's true, it makes sense that the last one of these commandments doesn't address something going on in our lives, but something that happens in our heart. Why is it that the final commandment talks about the inner attitude of coveting, the inner desire to grab something for ourselves? And what would it look like for us to live lives where we "do not covet"?
