How we see the World #2

More from my notes:

"Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace." 

 -- C. H. Spurgeon.

            My rights:

·         Pride establishes self-value and self-importance and thus determines our ‘rights’ and thus what others have the right to do and not to do. [Isaiah 14:13]

·         Humility reminds us that we were “bought with a price, you are not your own” [1 Corinthians 6:20], and therefore we have no rights, we only have what God deems good for us to have. Therefore, there is no bitterness or revenge in the Kingdom of God. All that was nullified at the cross.
