Better Than My Rights

Christ has given me what is better than my rights: a Christ-like heart that would willingly surrender my rights for others.

1. The rights are truly mine. (v.1-7)
2. Spiritual rights operate the same way as other rights. (v.8-14)
3. To forfeit my rights for a higher cause when needed is better than to claim my rights for my enjoyment. (v.15-18)
   How do we respond to the entitlements-pull of our flesh?
   I no longer live? How does that help relinquish rights? Gal. 2:20
   To keep balance, what 2 concerns should we have? Phil. 2:4
   How much does the gospel cost you? Isaiah 55:1, Rev. 22:17
