Stop the Murdering

Prohibitions of the Law 6
Prescriptions of Law 6

You must not murder. You must be pro-life. God’s image is in man. So think of things that would promote life. Clear your heart of hate, envy, greed, and bitterness. Speak words that encourage, build up, and defend life. Work hard and work long, being willing to give up money, time, and energies for the sake of life.

Brothers and Sisters:

1. It is easy to hate –which is the root of murder. It is easy to speak evil of those you don’t like. It is not hard to even murder. But God commands you to love. When you find it difficult to love and easy to hate and be envious greedy and bitter, and when you develop a desire to hurt someone, ask God to take you back to the cross so that you can see what your sins deserved and you can be refreshed with true love for others.

2. Then equipped with God’s Word and Spirit, fight to please the Lord, the one who paid your ransom. Desire, speak, and work to protect life.
