Are you looking for The Cost of Discipleship<\/em> quotes? What did Dietrich Bonhoeffer say about following Christ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonhoeffer was a Christian pastor and seminary professor living in Germany in the 1930s. He wrote The Cost of Discipleship<\/em> as a wake-up call for the church, which he felt had rendered Christianity somewhat meaningless by making discipleship too \u201ceasy.\u201d He lived as he preached\u2014his Christian beliefs compelled him to speak out against Hitler\u2019s regime and ultimately led to his execution in 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are four quotes from The Cost of Discipleship<\/em> with explanations and context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Cost of Discipleship<\/em> Quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bonhoeffer expressed concern that, by trying to make Christianity easier for people to practice, churches had, in fact, made it meaningless. As a remedy, he challenged Christians to adopt a rigorous lifestyle of \u201cdiscipleship,\u201d which involved humility, self-denial, and suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are The Cost of Discipleship<\/em> quotes that highlight some of Bonhoeffer’s main arguments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheap grace<\/a> is the deadly enemy of our Church.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bonhoeffer is probably best known for criticizing what he called \u201ccheap grace,\u201d and contrasting it with what he called \u201ccostly grace.\u201d Bonhoeffer subscribed to Luther\u2019s view that people can only receive salvation by trusting in God\u2019s grace (not by earning God\u2019s favor through righteous works). Thus, he treats \u201cgrace\u201d as being synonymous with \u201csalvation.\u201d In his view, real salvation requires a serious commitment, and so anything less (i.e., \u201ccheap grace\u201d) is fake salvation. And fake salvation is dangerous, because it lures you into a false sense of security until you find yourself condemned to be lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The call goes forth, and is at once followed by the response of obedience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bonhoeffer references Jesus’s call to Levi (Matthew) as recorded in Mark 2:14: \u201cAs He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector\u2019s station, and He said to him, \u2018Follow Me.\u2019 And he rose and followed Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, the term \u2018disciple\u2019 means a student, follower, or apprentice. To Bonhoeffer, the key distinguishing quality of a disciple is obedience\u2014personal, unconditional obedience to Christ that takes precedence over all other obligations, such as family, country, and career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonhoeffer asserts that Christ still gives personal instructions to his disciples today. He claims that as you read the Bible, the Holy Spirit gives you insight into how it applies to you today, not only in a general sense, but at a personal level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To endure the cross is not a tragedy; it is the suffering which is the fruit of an exclusive allegiance to Jesus Christ.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bonhoeffer declares that to suffer like Christ is the most glorious honor that a disciple can receive on earth. As such, you can triumph over suffering by accepting it and rejoicing in the fact that it allows you to relate more closely to Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He asserts that humbly and peacefully seeking to follow Christ invariably provokes people who reject Christ to slander you and seek your harm, just as Jewish leaders who rejected Jesus’ teachings persecuted him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They must recognize in fear and amazement both the power and the weakness of the Word of God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In several places, Bonhoeffer mentions in passing that the gospel of Christ is \u201cweak\u201d in the sense that it is not forceful: Christ did not force anyone to follow him, and Christians should not force anyone to convert to Christianity. Instead, we should invite people to follow Christ without coercing or compelling them, and leave them free to refuse if they so choose. According to Bonhoeffer, this spirit of \u201cweakness\u201d is what differentiates the gospel from \u201can ideology\u201d whose proponents impose their views on others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
