More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God is not free from human beings but for them.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
There is no way to peace along the way to safety. For peace must be dared. It is the great venture.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once again, Jesus calls those who follow him to share his passion.
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
So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes. There is his commission, his work.
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
It is much easier for me to imagine a praying murderer, a praying prostitute, than a vain person praying. Nothing is so at odds with prayer as vanity.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Good Friday and Easter free us to think about other things far beyond our own personal fate, about the ultimate meaning of all life, suffering, and events and we lay hold of a great hope.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where is love more glorified than where she dwells in the midst of her enemies?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Who can really be faithful in great things if he has not learned to be faithful in the things of daily life?
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Monastic life thus became a living protest against the secularization of Christianity, against the cheapening of grace.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The physical presence of other Christians is a source of incomparable joy and strength to the believer.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Where God tears great gaps we should not try to fill them with human words.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Once a man has truly experienced the mercy of God in his life he will henceforth aspire only to serve.
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
Do not try to make the Bible relevant. Its relevance is axiomatic.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
A Christian is someone who shares the sufferings of God in the world.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
