” Such grace is costly because it call us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner. Above all, it is costly because it cost the life of his Son: “ye were brought with a price,” and what has cost God much cannot be cheap for us. Above all it is grace because God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God.”- Costly Grace by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
I love Bonhoeffer. He has way too many good things to say for my brain to comprehend at times. I strive to live my life following Christ to the extent of giving up my own life. Thanks for sharing this quote, continue to strive to be faithful in all you do.
