Because Luther said that the Christian was not made for the sake of the sacrament, but the sacrament instituted for the sake of the Christian, it does not follow that, in Luther's opinion, the Christian stands in no need of the sacrament. Nor did Christ, when he declared that the Sabbath was made for man, blot out the Sabbath from the week, or abrogate its observance. Nevertheless, some people profess to be unable to see any distinction between that which is given them to use, and that which they need not use at all. Because air was made for animals, and not animals for air, they might conclude that breathing is a quite unnecessary employment. Thus he who refuses to benefit by God's good gifts, from the greatest to the smallest, is doubly unfortunate in that he not only misses the present blessing, but puts himself into a perverse condition which is likely to drag him farther and farther downward. Instead of asking what he may do, he ought rather to open his eyes to see what he must do.
