Self-entitlement: when someone deems themselves entitled to treatment, privileges, rights, etc. not extended to others; when someone believes they are the exception to established procedures, rules, guidelines, etc. that provide for order within a community; when someone takes advantage of the kindness or generosity of others for their own advancement.
There are few things that fire me up more than when people profess to be followers of Jesus but behave with self-entitlement. That’s how the Pharisees behaved.
If following Jesus isn’t changing me daily, then I’m not following Jesus.
Luke 9:23 And He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
