An excerpt from "Romans 7" by Harald Sommerfeld.
The plight of Mr. "I" often starts on the day of his conversion. Full of joy he is entering a new life with Jesus. But already he is a fellow Christian in the hands of well-meaning instructs him: From today, brother, "I" daily read the Bible and pray. Even the crossover is set to lose track again. What should be free skating, has become a duty. The disaster takes its course. Allow me to protest.
first You have to read the Bible at all.
I'm not reading the Bible is bad - quite the contrary. I do not say: "Let the Bible read" If any one, he may like to read it. I am happy about it. I know that it will do him good. I only say: You have not read it. At least, not to please God (ie he takes a fancy you have) or a "good Christian" to be. There are no other Christians as well. A Christian is a work of God (Ephesians 2:8). Everything that God makes is good.
Mister "I," you are a Christian,
and your God does not make crap.
