More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Whenever the Psalter is abandoned, an incomparable treasure is lost to the Christian church. With its recovery will come unexpected power.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
All are called to be what in the reality of God they are already.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The church ... is not just to bandage the victims under the wheel, but to put a spoke in the wheel itself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When you read the Bible, you must think that here and now, God is speaking with me
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Disciples will not be weakened by suffering, worn down, and embittered until they are broken. Instead, they bear suffering, by the power of him who supports them. The disciples bear the suffering laid on them only by the power of him who bears all suffering on the cross. As bearers of suffering, they stand in communion with the Crucified.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I can no longer condemn or hate a brother for whom I pray, no matter how much trouble he causes me.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The devil doesn't fill us with hatred for God, but with forgetfulness of God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once a man has truly experienced the mercy of God in his life he will henceforth aspire only to serve.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
There remains an experience of incomparable value.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Christian needs another Christian who speaks God's word to him. He needs him again and again when he becomes uncertain and discouraged, for by himself he cannot help himself without belying the truth.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
In the New Testament our enemies are those who harbor hostility against us, not those against whom we cherish hostility, for Jesus refuses to reckon with such a possibility.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
After he has been following Christ for a long time, the disciple of Jesus will be asked, Lacked ye anything? and he will answer Nothing, Lord. How could he when he knows that despite hunger and nakedness, persecution and danger, the Lord is always at his side?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Each morning is a new beginning of our life. Each day is a finished whole. The present day marks the boundary of our cares and concerns. It is long enough to find God or lose Him, to keep faith or fall into disgrace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won where the way leads to the cross.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
May God in His mercy lead us through these times but above all, may He lead us to Himself.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
