[ I am back working through my prison journal. It is out of order… Well, the order is as I have opened boxes. The date in the title is the date it was written. I hope this is not confusing. What you are reading is what you get for your tax dollars. sch 7/5/2025]
This comes from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Ethics,
... In the passage which we have quotes from Philippians St. Paul describes exactly the same situation when he says that because to live and to increase in love is the precondition of proving, because to live and to increase in love is to live the life of Jesus Christ... Proving what is God's will is possible only on the foundation of the knowledge of God's will in Jesus Christ. Only upon the foundation of Jesus Christ only within the space which is defined by Jesus Christ only, only "in" Jesus Christ can man prove what is the will of God.
Part one; 1. The Love of God and the Decay of the World; "Proving"
Amen.
