Quote

I am bound by the texts of the Bible, my conscience is captive to the Word of God, I neither can nor will recant anything, since it is neither right nor safe to act against my conscience.

More quotes by 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
Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin Luther
Image
If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
Martin Luther
Image
People give ear to an upstart astrologer [Copernicus]...this fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy
Martin Luther
Image
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
Martin Luther
Image
We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.
Martin Luther
Image
For what God gives I thank indeed What He withholds I do not need
Martin Luther
Image
What harm would it do, if a man told a good strong lie for the sake of the good.
Martin Luther
Image
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
If God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
Image
The priest is not made. He must be born a priest must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the enemy of faith.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is alive, it speaks to me it has feet, it runs after me it has hands, it lays hold of me.
Martin Luther
Image
We must beat the Gospel into peoples' heads incessantly because it's the one thing we're prone to forget.
Martin Luther
Image
My counsel is, that we draw water from the true source and fountain, that is, that we diligently search the Scriptures. He who wholly possesses the text of the Bible, is a consummate divine.
Martin Luther
Image
Our office...subjects us to great burdens and labors, dangers and temptations, with little reward or gratitude from the world. But Christ himself will be our reward if we labor faithfully.
Martin Luther
Image
We need not invite the Devil to our table he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.
Martin Luther
Image
Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
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
