Lord’s Day 40—Questions and Answers #105, #106, and #107. In this sermon, we will see the different aspects of the Fifth Commandment, and that the breaking of it is very offensive to God. But the Heidelberg Catechism also addresses the cause which leads to the heinous act of snuffing out the life of another human being; under three main headings: 1. It Forbids the Act of Murder. 2. It Addresses the Cause of Murder. 3. It Commands the Opposite of Murder.
