O you who dwell by many waters, Abundant in treasures, Your end has come, the measure of your covetousness Jeremiah 51:13 Behold, I will stirr up Medes against them Isaiah 13:17-18

The tenth Commandment
We give importance to the many commandments, but many fall in this commandment. "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's. Exodus 20:17 This commandment is of great importance among the legislation of the Bible. Paul apostle said "You shall not covet" (Romans 7:7) The tenth command internalizes all of the other commands. It is only this command that can induce any kind of conviction of sin. The unregenerate person without faith may keep the law to a certain extent. But the regenerated person may keep the law to a endless extent. This command is not given good explanation in the Churches. Because all of the namely Christian countries covet the other nations, their natural resources, and their land boundaries. So many wars happening in this world. Many civilian murders happening. Lust of the money is the root of all evils. Lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, Pride of the life are it's branches. The fruits of them are. Crimes. War crimes. In the view of social life a man kills other man or woman for above the sin. If you covet anything of anybody it is leading you to a sin. It may be mortal too. Young believers must not say i love this girl or this boy. It is a sin . Old people do not say i love his wife!!! Or husband!!! They are breaking this law. America covet the petroleum resources of Iraq. Iraq covet the same of Kuwait. So a war was taken place and million people suffered. The millionaires of India covet the lands of Scheduled Tribes of India. So they murdered them. So the tribes retaliated to take the revenge. But they became terrorists. The millionaires become designers of modern dustbin of the world. So do not lust. Your lust make other man to suffer. Your lust make other country to suffer. It is Sin Before the Lord. If they cannot repent from their sin, Lord will punish them in three ways. 1.Sword it means of war, natural calamity 2. Scarcity 3.Plagues. Arise O' Lord Judge this Earth. Save the oppressed. Amen.

The New covenant
Lord Jesus not came to destroy the Laws Of God. He fulfilled and correct them perfectly. The Laws with more purity and more Righteousness. Before we get far into the Law of Exodus 19-24 We had best remind ourselves that the Old covenant failed. God had to bring in a New covenant. When we are under Law we fail to keep the Law. when we are under the powerful working of the spirit we fulfill the mosaic law without even thinking about it. When we are truly following Jesus and his words we are fulfilling the Law. Jesus narrated the law more powerful and more lawful. Many Christians thinks that the new covenant is teaches about "Covenant of Grace" and not a "Covenant of Law". They did not read the bible with the Holy Spirit. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17. Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. And in Matthew 5:27 to 30 we can see How a Law fulfilled purely by Christ. Jesus said "You have heard that it was said to those of old, "You shall not commit adultery. But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her already committed adultery with her in his heart". Here this words are not destroy the law of God. But it purify the Law of God and the Heart of man. The old covenant warns not only about physical sin. But the new covenant Of Jesus Warns about not to do the sin with our thoughts. It not only purifies a physique but our inner man, our soul, our hearts. It is more lawful and more pure before the Lord. The Covenant of grace not destroys the covenant of law. It modifies and narrates it. So the believers of Lord don't endlessly worrying about being too gracious or don't worry about being too legalistic. They must practice the Laws as Jesus said. Jesus is not only gracious, He is very Lawful. His blood cleanse us from sin, but it is not a license to do sins. Keep every Law perfect.
