The tenth and final commandment says, "You shall not covet"—which is actually in a different category than all the other commandments. And what makes this commandment different is not that it’s talking about different things—it’s talking about the same things we’ve already seen—but the tenth commandment talks about them in a different way. And this difference completely reconfigures the way we think about sin and obedience. The tenth commandment clarifies the level of obedience God demands in all his commandments. He does not merely seek our behavior, He wants your heart.
