We pray you have been enjoying our Bible study series! Together we’ve been exploring the identity and practices of Christian community as a people called, gathered, and sent by God from reflections on Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s book Life Together.
You can check out the text to Bonhoeffer’s book here:
Bonhoeffer, Dietrich. Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Christian CommunityB
Tonight’s Discussion from “Life Together”>>
What we call our life, our troubles, our guilt, is by no means all of reality; there in the Scriptures is our life, our need, our guilt, and our salvation. Because it pleased God to act for us there, it is only there that we shall be saved. Only in the Holy Scriptures do we learn to know our own history. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God and Father of Jesus Christ and our Father. We must learn to know the Scriptures again, as the Reformers and our fathers knew them. We must not grudge the time and the work that it takes. We must know the Scriptures first and foremost for the sake of- our salvation. (page 54)
