Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotations | Page 4

You can only learn what obedience is by obeying

Anyone who thinks that his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies.

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

While it is good that we seek to know the Holy One, it is probably not so good to presume that we ever complete the task.

Help must come from the outside, and it has come and comes daily and answers in the Word of Jesus Christ...

It is the task of youth not to reshape the church, but rather to listen to the word of God.

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

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating.

It is grace, nothing but grace, that we are allowed to live in community with Christian brethren.

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.
