Cheap Grace

Prodigal: How pretty!

Me: God made all of this out of nothing. He can take care of you.

Prodigal: Amen!

This is from the book The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

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.


And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us. Deuteronomy 1:25 (KJV).
