A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.

God freely forgives us on account of Christnot on account of our works, contrition, confession, or satisfactions.
Martin Luther
Image
Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
Martin Luther
Image
Scripture is the manger in which we find the Christ child.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loses sight of the word of God, falls into despair the voice of heaven no longer sustains him he follows only the disorderly tendency of his heart.
Martin Luther
Image
One Book is enough, but a thousand books is not too many!
Martin Luther
Image
Isaiah calls the Church barren because her children are born without effort by the Word of faith through the Spirit of God. It is a matter of birth, not of exertion.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever has skill in music is of good temperament and fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools.
Martin Luther
Image
We must not regard what or how the world esteems us, so we have the Word pure, and are certain of our doctrine.
Martin Luther
Image
Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fulness and riches of his own faith.
Martin Luther
Image
The fool will upset the whole science of astronomy.
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
It is impossible to separate works from faith- yea, just as impossible as to separate burning and shining from fire.
Martin Luther
Image
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the creative light of altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life's persistent and most urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'
Martin Luther
Image
All which happens through the whole world happens through hope. No husbandman would sow a grain of corn if he did not hope it would spring up and bring forth the ear how much more we are helped on by hope in the eternal life.
Martin Luther
Image
Astrology is framed by the devil, to the end people may be scared from entering into the state of matrimony, and from every divine and human office and calling.
Martin Luther
Image
Ambition begat simony simony begat the pope and his brethren, about the time of the Babylonish captivity
Martin Luther
Image
Good works are the seals and proofs of faith for even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works.
Martin Luther
Image
The Devil fears the word of God, He can't bite it it breaks his teeth.
Martin Luther
Image
I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.

For what God gives I thank indeed What He withholds I do not need
