Follow up on the So-Called

Pretensious Roundheads should harken to these words.

Hans Joachim Iwand writes:

The theology of the cross is neither an exclusively theoretical expression nor a mere antithesis to the theology of glory, but it is to be inscribed in our life.  From this is to be understood what it means to be a believer, one who hopes, one who loves - indeed, what it means to be a Christian.  Yet strictly speaking one can never be a Christian; one can only become one.  Being a Christian is hidden in God.  One cannot lift it into consciousness without distroying it.  In our consciousness we have the reverse side, the not-being.

I put in the bold letters for those with a short attention span.
