Christian brotherhood is not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.
Dietrich BonhoefferEvery Christian must be fully Christian by bringing God into his whole life, not merely into some spiritual realm.
Dietrich BonhoefferCheap grace is the idea that "grace" did it all for me so I do not need to change my lifestyle. The believer who accepts the idea of "cheap grace" thinks he can continue to live like the rest of the world. Instead of following Christ in a radical way, the Christian lost in cheap grace thinks he can simply enjoy the consolations of his grace.
Dietrich BonhoefferTo endure the cross is not tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.
