More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Absolute seriousness is never without a dash of humor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God has reserved to Himself the right to determine the end of life, because He alone knows the goal to which it is His will to lead it. It is for Him alone to justify a life or to cast it away.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is not in our life that God's help and presence must still be proved, but rather God's presence and help have been demonstrated for us in the life of Jesus Christ. It is in fact more important for us to know what God did to Israel, to his Son Jesus Christ, than to seek what God intends for us today.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
...And then, just when everything is bearing down on us to such an extent that we can scarcely withstand it, the Christmas message comes to tell us that all our ideas are wrong, and that what we take to be evil and dark is really good and light because it comes from God. Our eyes are at fault, that is all.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The way to misuse our possessions is to use them as an insurance against the morrow. Anxiety is always directed to the morrow, whereas goods are in the strictest sense meant to be used only for to-day.
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
Advent creates people, new people.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Psalter is the great school of prayer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you your life
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where a people prays, there is the church and where the church is there is never loneliness.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A home is a kingdom of it's own in the midst of the world, a stronghold amid life's storms and stresses, a refuge, even a sanctuary.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian fellowship lives and exists by the intercession of its members for one another, or it collapses.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is only because he became like us that we can become like him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Discipleship is not limited to what you can comprehend – it must transcend all comprehension. Plunge into the deep waters beyond your own comprehension, and I will help you to comprehend even as I do. Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge. My comprehension transcends yours.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The deceit, the lie of the Devil consists of this, that he wishes to make man believe that he can live without God's Word.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Politics are not the task of a Christian.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
