More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to have faith.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
By his willingly renouncing self-defence, the Christian affirms his absolute adherence to Jesus, and his freedom from the tyranny of his own ego. The exclusiveness of this adherence is the only power which can overcome evil.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Lord confers great honor on his servants when he brings them suffering.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Monastic life thus became a living protest against the secularization of Christianity, against the cheapening of grace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
All are called to be what in the reality of God they are already.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Being free means being free for the other, because the other has bound me to him. Only in relationship with the other am I free
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every sermon must contain a certain shot of heresy.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Earthly goods are given to be used, not to be collected.... Hoarding is idolatry.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity means community through Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ. No Christian community is more or less than this. Whether it is a brief, single encounter or the daily fellowship of years, Christian community is only this. We belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Jesus Christ has to suffer and be rejected... Suffering and being rejected are not the same.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When you read the Bible, you must think that here and now, God is speaking with me
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God is in the manger, wealth in poverty, light in darkness, succor in abandonment. No evil can befall us whatever men may do to us, they cannot but serve the God who is secretly revealed as love and rules the world and our lives.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
He who fears the face of God does not fear the face of man. He who fears the face of man does not fear the face of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self- satisfied in fact, he can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make him aggressive. A fool must therefore be treated more cautiously than a scoundrel.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God is not free from human beings but for them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The devil doesn't fill us with hatred for God, but with forgetfulness of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The restoration of the church must surely depend on a new kind of monasticism, which has nothing in common with the old but a life of uncompromising discipleship, following Christ according to the sermon on the mount. I believe the time has come to gather people together to do this.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian is someone who shares the sufferings of God in the world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
