I hear some Christians say: you must not try to change yourself, that does not work. You have to let God change you. I am not behind that reason because I have thought so myself for a long time. And it is true, God often asked me to do this and I do that but I thought, no, I can not. In order to be changed by God, we must take action ourselves. We have to make some effort. If we always wait for God to change us and never do anything ourselves to change, then we do not make any effort at all. Of course it does not work. We certainly do not need to put any burdens on ourselves , but it is good to be a little bit involved with ourselves and try to sin less. That line of thought, that we ourselves must do nothing, is not good in my eyes. When a boss gives his servant an order, it is not the boss who has to execute that order. It is the servant who has to. The boss only has to give the order. I see so much deception in the world. Even among the Christians, I sometimes even think that among us, there is still the most deception. But who is deceived and who is not? How can we be sure of something? Maybe we are deceived ourselves. It is not all easy. Many will say: read the Bible then you will know the truth. It is not that simple, we form the truth ourselves with what we read and that can be different for everyone. If that were not the case, then there was no deception in the first place. The deception is the most dangerous where the truth is. For the deception is the opposite of the truth. So reading the Bible can be dangerous but is necessary. Let us hope that others get the correct knowledge and that we also receive it from God.
