Cheap grace presupposes a sinful life as the justification of sin but not the sinner.108 Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without repentance: It is baptism without the discipline of the community; it is the Lord’s Supper without the confession of sin; it is absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without the living incarnate Jesus Christ.109 Cheap grace describes the Christian life that Bonhoeffer formerly knew, as a Christian with divided loyalties.
