The Way I see it

"If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know bout your faith or unbelief, you orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in a situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word."

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer in The Cost of Discipleship p.67
