Christianity is a believing and a very particular kind of existing corresponding to it—imitation.
We can put faith first and imitation second, inasmuch as it is necessary for me to have faith in that which I am to imitate.
But we must also put imitation first and faith second. I must, by some action, be marked in some measure by conformity to Christ, and thus collide with the world. Without some kind of situational tension, there is no real opportunity of becoming a believer.
—Søren Kierkegaard
