“We should never argue with the devil about our sins, but we should speak about our sins only with Jesus.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Creation and Fall Temptation: Two Biblical Studies

“Only in Jesus Christ are we one, only through him are we bound together.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian Community

“Bonhoeffer was firmly and rightly convinced that it is not only a Christian right but a Christian duty towards God to oppose tyranny, that is, a government which is no longer based on natural law and the law of God. For Bonhoeffer this followed from the fact that the Church as a living force in this world entirely depends on her this-sidedness.”
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

“In the world God wills work, marriage, government, and church, and God wills all these, each in its own way, through Christ, toward Christ, and in Christ. God has placed human beings under all these mandates, not only each individual under one or the other, but all people under all four. There can be no retreat, therefore, from a “worldly” into a “spiritual” “realm.” The practice of the Christian life can be learned only under these four mandates of God.”
