Bonhoeffer:
Cheap grace:
Cheap grace is intellectual consent without life changing conviction.
Cheap grace does everything and so everything can remain as it was.
Cheap grace is forgiveness with repentence, communion without confession.
Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, without the cross, without a living Jesus.
Costly grace:
Costly grace is a treasure hidden for which someone will sell all to obtain
Costly grace is costly because it calls a person to follow and grace because it calls them to follow Jesus.
Costly grace is costly because it costs a person their life and grace beacuse it gives them the only true life
Costly grace is costly because it condemns sin and grace because it saves sinners.
Costly grace is costly because it cost God his Son and grace because he was willing to give his Son
From "The Cost of Discipleship"
