More quotes by Martin Luther
When one is possessed with doubt, that though he call upon the Lord he cannot be heard, and that God has turned him heart from him, and is angry ... he must arm himself with God's Word, promising to hear him.
Martin Luther
He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.
Martin Luther
It is the duty of every Christian to be Christ to his neighbor.
Martin Luther
Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you
Martin Luther
For that purpose Christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. It is tantamount to his saying, My righteousness shall be your righteousness my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.
Martin Luther
In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits.
Martin Luther
To pray well is the better half of study.
Martin Luther
But the Jews are so hardened that they listen to nothing though overcome by testimonies they yield not an inch. It is a pernicious race, oppressing all men by their usury and rapine. If they give a prince or magistrate a thousand florins, they extort twenty thousand from the subjects in payment. We must ever keep on guard against them.
Martin Luther
Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
Martin Luther
In his life Christ is an example showing us how to live in his death he is a sacrifice satisfying our sins in his resurrection a conqueror in his ascension a king in his intercession a high priest.
Martin Luther
For God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, he is behind you and before you. Do you think he is sleeping on a pillow in heaven? He is watching over you and protecting you.
Martin Luther
Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other
Martin Luther
The mad mob does not ask how it could be better, only that it be different. And when it then becomes worse, it must change again. Thus they get bees for flies, and at last hornets for bees.
Martin Luther
Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
Martin Luther
An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Martin Luther
Christian life consists of faith and charity
Martin Luther
This doctrine (justification) is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God and without it the church of God cannot exist for one hour.
Martin Luther
Through faith we are restored to paradise and created anew. We have no need of works in order to be righteous however, in order to avoid idleness and so that the body might be cared for an disciplined, works are done freely to please God.
Martin Luther
Nothing is easier than sinning.
Martin Luther
The whole Turkish empire is nothing else but a crust cast by Heaven's great Housekeeper to His dogs.
Martin Luther
