More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only those who put tomorrow completely into God's hand and receive fully today what they need for their lives are really secure.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Whenever Christ calls us, His call leads us to death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart. It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Christian must treat his enemy as a brother, and requite his hostility with love. His behavior must be determined not by the way others treat him, but by the treatment he himself receives from Jesus it has only one source, and that is the will of Jesus.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Absolute seriousness is never without a dash of humor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only the believer obeys — obedience follows faith, the way good fruit comes from a good tree. Only the obedient believe.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Love asks nothing in return, but seeks those who need it. And who needs our love more than those who are consumed with hatred and are utterly devoid of love.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Not until one person desires to keep his own bread for himself does hunger ensue.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Jesus Christ we have been chosen from eternity, accepted in time, and united for eternity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
One who loves his community destroys community one who loves its members builds community.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Death is hell and night and cold, if it is not transformed by our faith. But that is just what is so marvelous, that we can transform death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Anything I cannot thank God for for the sake of Christ, I may not thank God for at all to do so would be sin. ... We cannot rightly acknowledge the gifts of God unless we acknowledge the Mediator for whose sake alone they are given to us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In normal life we hardly realize how much more we receive than we give, and life cannot be rich without such gratitude. It is so easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements compared with what we owe to the help of others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
