Quote

When I was abandoned by everybody, in my greatest weakness, trembling and afraid of death, when I was persecuted by this wicked world, then I often felt most surely the divine power in this name, Jesus Christ... So, by God's grace, I will live and die for that name.

Martin Luther

More quotes by 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
The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.
Martin Luther
Image
I have before me God's Word which cannot fail, nor can the gates of hell prevail against it thereby will I remain, though the whole world be against me.
Martin Luther
Image
So tenaciously should we cling to the world revealed by the Gospel, that were I to see all the Angels of Heaven coming down to me to tell me something different, not only would I not be tempted to doubt a single syllable, but I would shut my eyes and stop my ears, for they would not deserve to be either seen or heard.
Martin Luther

Love is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.
Martin Luther
Image
If you could understand a single grain of wheat you would die of wonder.
Martin Luther
Image
Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
Martin Luther
Image
Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
Martin Luther
Image
So great are the effectiveness and power of the Word of God that the more it is persecuted the more it flourishes and grows.
Martin Luther
Image
This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
But then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!
Martin Luther
Image
Where faith is not continually kept in motion and exercised, it weakens and decreases, so that it must indeed vanish and yet we do not see nor feel this weakness ourselves, except in times of need and temptation, when unbelief rages too strongly and yet for that very reason faith must have temptations in which it may battle and grow.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
Martin Luther

Show me where a man spends his time & money, and I'll show you his god.
Martin Luther
