Lawbreaking is in the Heart

The First Commandment is the key to all the Commandments. The Tenth Commandment (v17), 'Thou shalt not covet…' uncovers the deep-seated reality in our hearts. In effect saying we have no other god but ourselves. The word 'covet' contains the idea of desiring and reaching towards something. It involves the planning, imagining, and the preoccupation that goes with it. (See James 1:14-15; and James 4:1-2). It leads us to break all the other Commandments
