Objection: You Lost All Your “Rights” the Day You Accepted Christ

The objector confuses the fact that your life is the rightful property of Jesus with the promises and statements that God has made to believers.

You do not have the right to run your own life.

You do have the right to walk in victory over sin.

You do not have the right to just go sin in any way that your flesh feels like doing.

You do have the right to go to heaven and receive a glorified immortal body in the future.

You do not have the right to decide whether or not you are called to the ministry.

You do have the right to tread on snakes, scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy.

You do not have the right to do whatever your feel like doing with your money and possessions.

You do have the right to lay hands on the sick and see them recover.

You do not have the right to disobey any of Jesus’ commands.

You do have the right to move mountains by speaking to them.

You definitely have the right to believe that every promise God has ever made is Yes and Amen in Christ by you (2 Corinthians 1:20).  The fact that you cannot direct your own life anymore does not negate the fact that the New Covenant gives you a LOT of rights.  See Who You Are and What You Have for a list of them!
