Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship, 진정한 은혜는 반드시 제자도를 수반한다

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship (1948; London: SCM, 1959), p.37.

 

"Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus. 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 God the life of His Son: 'ye were bought 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." (37)
