Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes

You can be a follower of Jesus and not necessarily be a Christian.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.

Everything I do is deeply rooted in my faith and especially in Jesus Christ.

Faith is a gift. Some feel like they were never blessed with it, others just casually let it fall away.

I can't believe in Christianity, but I think Jesus was a wonderful teacher.

Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.

Discipleship never consists in this or that specific action: it is always a decision, either for or against Jesus Christ.

I grew up a faithful person. I never lost faith. I prayed every day all throughout my life. But at some point in life, my faith became fairly abstract. And I lost this belief that we have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

I'm not perfect, but I believe my faith in Jesus Christ will really take me far in the world!

I don't spend that much time being introspective, believe it or not. All I know is that I grew up not questioning God because that's how you are. God was there like the birds and the wind.

I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual. But I don't believe in things like guilt.

The word 'religion' is only a label. What lies behind that, the most important thing of all, is the word 'faith'. You either have faith, or you don't have faith, or you have degrees of faith - and if you have degrees of faith, then you become agnostic. You're kind of in-between, or you're on the fence.

If it is true that we have a personal relationship with God, then that's enough for me.

I think we have to be careful about what we label as a prerequisite for spirituality. I don't think you have to know a lot to have a spiritual life, but knowing gives life richness.

I know that I've been guided by God. I am obedient.

I can honestly say I am a Christian, but my spirituality has been developed on the road and is based on my experiences with God.

I knew all of the childhood prayers I uttered on my knees at the side of my bed. Many years of Sunday-school attendance had etched certain Psalms and rote prayers into the fibers of my brain. However, somewhere deep inside of me, I had the secret belief that I did not know how to pray, and that frightened me.

I was being foolish. An atheist can't stand behind their assertion that God doesn't exist. The stupidest thing I ever could have done was to reject His Truth.

I guess any time you believe in God you've got to be considered a spiritual person. That would make me a spiritual person. But I don't really know what that means.

Yes, I'm religious. God has shown me things, made certain ways clear to me.

Faith is a continuation of reason.

What's different about the Gospel of Thomas is that, instead of focusing entirely on who Jesus is and the wonderful works of Jesus, it focuses on how you and I can find the kingdom of God, or life in the presence of God.

Religious belief has made me comfortable with ambiguity.

I'm a deeply spiritual person, and I strongly believe that God is watching over me!

From the sense of being an ambassador for Jesus Christ, hopefully, through my story and through all the improbables and the miracles that happened in my life, people are inspired or at least a little bit warmer to the idea of exploring who Jesus is.
