Quote

You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Martin Luther
Image
The inner man cannot be forced to do out of his own free will, what he should do, except the grace of God change the heart and make it willing.
Martin Luther
Image
The hair is the finest ornament women have. Of old, virgins used to wear it loose, except when they were in mourning.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not the imitation that makes sons it is sonship that makes imitators.
Martin Luther
Image
Everything is from God himself, both commandment and fulfillment. He alone commands he alone fulfills.
Martin Luther
Image
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
Martin Luther
Image
Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
Martin Luther
Image
Let whatsoever will or can befall me, I will surely cleave by my sweet Savior Christ Jesus, for in Him am I baptized I can neither do nor know anything but only what He has taught me.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Martin Luther
Image
If the peasants are in open rebellion, then they are outside the law of God. Therefore let all who are able slash, strike down, and kill (those who rebel) openly and secretly, remembering that there can be nothing more venomous, harmful, or devilish than a rebel. It is exactly like killing a mad dog.
Martin Luther
Image
God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, It comes from a hand we love, and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.
Martin Luther
Image
If a man serves not God only, then surely he serves the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves?
Martin Luther
Image
Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.
Martin Luther
Image
Your God is altogether too human.
Martin Luther
Image
God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.
Martin Luther
Image
Pray, and let God worry.
Martin Luther
Image
Over against the devil and his missionaries, the authors of false doctrines and sects, we ought to be like the Apostle, impatient, and rigorously condemnatory, as parents are with the dog that bites their little one, but the weeping child itself they soothe.
Martin Luther
Image
In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offence was slain But the Lord is risen to-day, Christ hath brought us life again, Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud, with cheerful voice, Hallelujah!
Martin Luther
