Cheap grace is the deadly enemy of our church.
We are fighting today for costly grace.
Cheap grace means grace sold on the market like the cheap jackwares.
Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance,
baptism without church discipline,
Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession.
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross,
grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate.
----Quotes from Bonhoeffer's The Cost of Discipleship, first published
in 1937.
