That's what God asks each one of us to choose. In the last days of World War II, the Third Reich martyred a young German pastor named Dietrich Bonhoeffer. We are fighting today for costly grace . . . 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.
Costly grace is the treasure hidden in the field . . .
God grant that our lives prove that to the world.
