More quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Sanctification means that the Christians have been judged already, and that they are being preserved until the coming of Christ and are ever advancing towards it.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Politics are not the task of a Christian.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
That fact that Jesus Christ died is more important than that fact that I will die.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Lord stands above the new day, for God has made it. All restlessness, all worry, and anxiety flee before him.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Man has learned to cope with all questions of importance without recourse to God as a working hypothesis.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
When a man really gives up trying to make something out of himself - a saint, or a converted sinner, or a churchman (a so-called clerical somebody), a righteous or unrighteous man,...and throws himself into the arms of God...then he wakes with Christ in Gethsemane. That is faith, that is metanoia and it is thus that he becomes a man and Christian.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The time is short. Eternity is long. It is the time of decision.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The deep meaning of the cross of Christ is that there is no suffering on earth that is not borne by God.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What we are in ourselves, and what we owe to others makes us a complete whole.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
There remains an experience of incomparable value.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Right speech comes out of silence and right silence comes out of speech.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Comfort the troubled, and trouble the comfortable.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The best-informed man is not necessarily the wisest. Indeed there is a danger that precisely in the multiplicity of his knowledge he will lose sight of what is essential.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
There remains an experience of incomparable value . . . to see the great events of world history from below from the perspective of the outcast, the suspects, the maltreated, the powerless, the oppressed, the reviled ---- in short, from the perspective of those who suffer . . . to look with new eyes on matters great and small.
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 a blessed thing to know that no power on earth, no temptation, no human frailty can dissolve what God holds together.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The church has an unconditional obligation to the victims of any ordering society, even if they do not belong to the Christian community.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Absolute seriousness is never without a dash of humor.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises.
