More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is only because he became like us that we can become like him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every call of Christ leads into death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Only the suffering God can help.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The child asks of the Father whom he knows. Thus, the essence of Christian prayer is not general adoration, but definite, concrete petition. The right way to approach God is to stretch out our hands and ask of One who we know has the heart of a Father.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God has willed that we should seek and find God's living Word in the testimony of other Christians, in the mouths of human beings.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God is not free from human beings but for them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A pastor should never complain about his congregation, certainly never to other people, but also not to God. A congregation has not been entrusted to him in order that he should become its accuser before God and men.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The heart clings to collected treasure. Stored-up possessions get between me and God. Where my treasure is, there is my trust, my security, my comfort, my God. Treasure means idolatry.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In Jesus Christ we have been chosen from eternity, accepted in time, and united for eternity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It seems to me more important actually to share someones distress than to use smooth words about it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Death is the supreme festival on the road to freedom.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Jesus' call to bear the cross places all who follow him in the community of the forgiveness of sins. Forgiving sins is the Christ-suffering required of his disciples. It is required of all Christians.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We should find God in what we do know, not in what we don't not in outstanding problems, but in those we have already solved.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A day without morning and evening prayers and personal intercessions is actually a day without meaning or importance.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Man seeks, in his manhood, not orders, not laws and peremptory dogmas, but counsel from one who is earnest in goodness and faithful in friendship, making man free.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
