The tension between rights and righteousness challenges many Christians today. This message explores the deceptive belief that 'It's my right' should be our guiding principle as followers of Christ. Drawing from Paul's teachings to the Corinthians, we discover that while we may have the freedom to do many things, not everything is beneficial or constructive. Learn three essential questions to ask yourself when deciding whether to exercise your rights: Is it loving toward others? Am I imposing legalistic rules in gray areas? Does my behavior lead people toward Jesus? Discover how Christ himself modeled setting aside his divine rights for our salvation, and how we can follow his example by limiting our freedoms out of love for others. This teaching provides practical guidance for navigating personal freedoms, political differences, and cultural debates while maintaining a Christ-centered perspective. Perfect for Christians struggling with entitlement, rights-based thinking, or finding balance between personal freedom and spiritual responsibility.
