In my view there are two ways to be a Christian.
(A) Be a bad Christian, and recognize and work to change it.
(B) Be a bad Christian, and deny it or downplay it.
I'm sure all of us do a little of (A) or (B) at some point in time.
I'm also pretty sure that (A) is the road to being like Christ, and (B) is the road to a complacent and dead spiritual life, if not, and we should hope not, an actual spiritual death.

This is very nice. Reminds me of Kierkegaard's words when he talked about his own status as a Christian: "infinitely interested in becoming one"
