Dietrich Bonhoeffer on Concrete Obedience - Lutheran (Micah 6:8)

Source: Dietrich Bonhoeffer50 words

"God's requirement is concrete, not abstract: DO justice (not just think about it), LOVE mercy (not just approve of it), WALK humbly (not just nod at humility). Discipleship is lived in the world—ethical, practical, embodied. Micah calls for hands and feet, not just hearts." — Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Lutheran: embodied discipleship.
