I’m still discovering, right up to this moment, that it is only by living completely in this world one learns to have faith. In so doing, we throw ourselves completely into the arms of God.
What a thought! To me, it seems that Bonhoeffer is saying that only by engaging in living does one engage in faith. Such a fine balance. Bonhoeffer certain followed that idea, totally engaged in his time and the needs of people in that time. We can't protect our faith (and our hope of eternity) by living only for the end times. In order to be in a heavenly state of mind, we must be engaged in a worldly frame of mind.
