Only those who obey can believe, and only those who believe can obey.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

God does not give us everythi...

God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

But they all stood beneath th...

But they all stood beneath the cross, enemies and believers, doubters and cowards, revilers and devoted followers. His prayer, in that hour, and his forgiveness, was meant for them all, and for all their sins. The mercy and love of God are at work even in the midst of his enemies. It is the same Jesus Christ, who of his grace calls us to follow him, and whose grace saves the murderer who mocks him on the cross in his last hour.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

The first service that one ow...

The first service that one owes to others in the fellowship consists of listening to them. Just as love of God begins with listening to his word, so the beginning of love for our brothers and sisters is learning to listen to them.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

The deep meaning of the cross of Christ is that there is no suffering on earth that is not borne by God.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

Faith without works is not fa...

Faith without works is not faith at all, but a simple lack of obedience to God.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

It is the nature, and the adv...

It is the nature, and the advantage, of strong people that they can bring out the crucial questions and form a clear opinion about them. The weak always have to decide between alternatives that are not their own.

God's truth judges created things out of love, and Satan's truth judges them out of envy and hatred.

If you board the wrong train, it is no use running along the corridor in the other direction.

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

We must learn to regard people less in light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer.

It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

To endure the cross is not tr...

To endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

Human love has little regard ...

Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

The essence of optimism is th...

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 481 quotes

Only those who put tomorrow completely into God's hand and receive fully today what they need for their lives are really secure.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

Cheap grace is the grace we b...

Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession.... Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 481 quotes

We do God’s work for our brothers and sisters when we learn to listen to them. So often Christians, especially preachers, think that their only service is always to have to 'offer' something when they are together with other people. They forget that listening can be a greater service than speaking. Many people seek a sympathetic ear and do not find it among Christians, because these Christians are talking even when they should be listening.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.....We must not.....assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.
