01380 – Obedience to God
Bonhoeffer, Dietrich

Who stands fast? Only the person whose final standard is not his or her reason, principles, conscience, freedom, or virtue, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God–the responsible person, who tries to make his or her whole life an answer to the question and call of God.
