A Christian has no right being in a fight unless it’s a spiritual fight.
Meaning of the quote
A Christian should only fight in spiritual battles, not physical fights. This means Christians should focus on fighting against things like sin, temptation, and negative thoughts, rather than getting into physical altercations with others. The quote suggests that Christians should avoid getting into regular fights or arguments, and instead use their energy to strengthen their faith and relationship with God.
