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.

More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Church is the Church only when it exists for others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Advent creates people, new people.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Church knows nothing of a sacredness of war. The Church which prays'Our Father'asks God only for peace.
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
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A love that left people alone in their guilt would not have real people as its object. So, in vicarious responsibility for people, and in His love for real human beings, Jesus becomes the one burdened by guilt.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The biggest mistake you can make in your life is to be always afraid of making a mistake.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If we are to pray aright, perhaps it is quite necessary that we pray contrary to our own heart. Not what we want to pray is important, but what God wants us to pray. The richness of the Word of God ought to determine our prayer, not the poverty of our heart.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church. We are fighting today for costly grace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Jesus' commandment never wishes to destroy life, but rather to preserve, strengthen, and heal life.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is from God that parents receive their children, and it is to God that they should lead them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Every wedding must be an occasion of joy that human beings can do such great things, that they have been given such immense freedom and power to take the helm in their life's journey.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The first service that one owes to others consists in listening to them.
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
Possessions are not God's blessing and goodness, but the opportunities of service which he entrusts to us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Absolute seriousness is never without a dash of humor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
