Don't Fight for Your Rights -- Receive His Righteousness!

Rights have to do with the law:

"Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again." (Leviticus 24: 20)

Yet in fighting for our own rights, we find ourselves under law, and thus in bondage:

"Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?" (Galatians 4: 21)

then

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. " (Galatians 5: 1)

We do not have to fight for our rights, because we have an advocate, a comforter:

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:" (John 15: 26)

and then

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:" (1 John 2: 1)

We do not need to fight or strive on this earth:

"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16: 33)

We have and Advocate who leads us on earth and pleads our righteousness in heaven?:

"1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?" (1 Corinthians 6: 1-3)

So, Beloved, do not fight for your rights, but receiving the abundance of grace and gifts of righteousness which we receive in Christ (Romans 5: 17). Let Him fight for you and restore to you all that you have lost (Acts 3: 21)
