No man has the right to kill unlawfully, and for believers, obedience starts in the heart.
The sixth commandment is short, yet it undergirds the biblical ethic of the sanctity of life. God alone gives life and has the sovereign right to take it. No human being may unlawfully end the life of another made in His image.
For society, this command functions as a curb that restrains evil. For the believer, Jesus presses the commandment deeper in the Sermon on the Mount: anger and contempt are the root of murder. External compliance is not enough. True obedience begins in the heart that has been transformed by the gospel and now loves what God loves and hates what God hates.
