You shall not murder. — Exodus 20:13

 The sixth commandment, which forbids the willful taking of human life, was believed by the Jews to be a reference to murder. It does not prohibit governments from carrying out war or applying the death penalty. This commandment only addresses personal morals. 

The divine truth that human life is sacred and that we must defend and preserve it is the foundation of Exodus 20:13. Every person carries the imprint of God. Even at the time of conception, an embryo is identified as being unique. Only God has the authority to take life, which is His most priceless gift. All three of these practices—abortion, euthanasia, and physician-assisted suicide—must be weighed against God's claim to our lives.

When He indicated that being enraged at someone without justification qualifies as murder (Mt. 5:21–22), Jesus brought the sixth commandment to everyone's doorstep. According to John, "Whoever hates his brother is a murderer" (1 John 3:15). We are all now murderers in utter need of God's mercy and forgiveness.

Lord, I thank You for Your kindness and mercy. By Your Holy Spirit, grant us the ability to love others as You have loved us and to do so by valuing, defending, and enhancing life as a gift from You.
