Dietrich Bonhoeffer Christ Quotations

Our community with one another consists solely in what Christ has done to each of us.

Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.

The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise God-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.

The more genuine and the deeper our community becomes, the more will everything else between us recede, the more clearly and purely will Jesus Christ and His work become the one and only thing that is vital between us.

Christianity without the living Christ is inevitably Christianity without discipleship, and Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Every call of Christ leads into death.

I need the Christ that is in you, and you need the Christ that is in me.

When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.

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

In Jesus Christ we have been chosen from eternity, accepted in time, and united for eternity.

Things do exist that are worth standing up for without compromise. To me it seems that peace and social justice are such things, as is Christ himself.

Whenever Christ calls us, His call leads us to death.

The cross is suffering with Christ.

Then fear will grow pale and fade away, and you will be free, through your faith in our strong and living Savior, Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ has to suffer and be rejected. ... Suffering and being rejected are not the same.

Not hero worship, but intimacy with Christ.

Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ.

When our will wholeheartedly enters into the prayer of Christ, then we pray correctly.
