Where do we get our rights and our freedom?

I have a Question?   Where do we get our rights and our freedom? Do they come from God or do they come from the government? Should we be governed by God’s laws or should we bow the head to government’s unjust laws? I cannot answer for others but my answer for me is that my rights and my freedom are God given. My life, my health, my sustenance and all that I need are from God therefore I need only to thank God for my very being and to Him only I will bow.

If government grants your rights and freedoms then government can take them away.

What God gives is forever.

Romans 6:23
for the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

When government controls a person’s life when a person has to bow and plead with the government for their needs they are not living in freedom but in slavery!

People who observe and keep God’s laws need not fear or keep the laws established by wicked and sinful men.

Unjust laws made by unjust men are made to be broken when they conflict with God’s laws.

²⁹ Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey God rather than men.

Acts 5:29 KJV

To have freedom one must seek the truth, know the truth and live by the truth

Who is the truth? What is the way? And how should I live my life?

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

So to be free we should seek Jesus know Him in a personal way and live our lives by His perfect example.
