Quote by W. Ian Thomas
To so many people, the Lord is in danger of being no more than a patron saint of our systematic theology instead of the Christ Who is our life.

Summary
This quote suggests that for some individuals, our understanding and perception of the Lord has become limited to a mere figure within our structured theological systems, lacking personal and meaningful connection to our own lives. Instead of perceiving the Lord as a living force that influences and guides our existence, some may only view Him as a symbolic or theoretical entity within the confines of theological frameworks. The quote serves as a reminder to approach our relationship with the Lord as a dynamic and transformative experience rather than reducing it to intellectual constructs.
