More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
This is true faith, a living confidence in the goodness of God.
Martin Luther
Image
Feelings come, and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving. My warrant is the Word of God, naught else is worth believing.
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
Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
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
Christ ought to be preached with this goal in mind--that we might be moved to faith in him so that he is not just a distant historical figure but actually Christ for you and me.
Martin Luther
Image
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation.
Martin Luther
Image
I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
Martin Luther
Image
A person whodoes not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.
Martin Luther
Image
Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds the graves restore, The dead which they contained before Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
Martin Luther
Image
Men are not made religious by performing certain actions which are externally good, but they must first have righteous principles, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.
Martin Luther
Image
Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.
Martin Luther
Image
I believe that the devil has destroyed many good books of the church, as, aforetime, he killed and crushed many holy persons, the memory of whom has now passed away but the Bible he was fain to leave subsisting.
Martin Luther
Image
Despair makes priests and friars.
Martin Luther
Image
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
Martin Luther
Image
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
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.
Martin Luther
Image
The more a person loves, the closer he approaches the image of God.
Martin Luther
