Grounded always in election, the activity of God is invariably one of jealousy, wrath and judgment. God is also holy, and this means that His being and activity take place in a definite opposition, in a real negation, both defensive and aggressive. Das Nichtige is that from which God separates Himself and in face of which He asserts Himself and exerts His positive will... God elects, and therefore rejects what He does not elect. God wills, and therefore opposes what He does not will. He says Yes, He works according to His purpose, and in so doing rejects and dismisses all that gainsays it. Both of these activities, grounded in His election and decision, are necessary elements in His sovereign action. He is Lord Both on the right hand and on the left. It is only on this basis that das Nachtige is, but on that basis ot really is. Karl Barth num momento super wtf.
