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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The Devil, too, sometimes steals human children it is not infrequent for him to carry away infants within the first six weeks after birth, and to substitute in their place imps.
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
Being by his faith replaced afresh in paradise and created anew, he (the believer)does not need works for his justification, but that he may not be idle, but that he may exercise his own body and preserve it. His works are to be done freely, with the sole object of pleasing God.
Martin Luther
Image
He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.
Martin Luther
Image
Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
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
We conclude, therefore, that a Christian lives not in himself, but in Christ and in his neighbor. Otherwise he is not a Christian. He lives in Christ through faith, in his neighbor through love. By faith he is caught up beyond himself into God. By love he descends beneath himself into his neighbor.
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
To worship God in spirit is the service and homage of the heart, and implies fear of God and trust in Him.
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
How can a reason which hates God be called sound?
Martin Luther
Image
I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.
Martin Luther
Image
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.
Martin Luther
Image
Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.
Martin Luther
Image
There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.
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
I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to his face, and tell him that through God I am more than a match for him
Martin Luther
Image
The Clergy is the greatest hindrance to faith.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
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
