More quotes by Martin Luther
We know that death never skips or spares anybody and that no one ever returns. And yet we go on like the blind, who see as little at midday as in the pitch-dark night. We do not take these examples to heart we do not realize that today or tomorrow our turn will come.
Martin Luther
This is the reason why our Theology is certain: because it seizes us from ourselves and places us outside ourselves.
Martin Luther
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Martin Luther
There are three conversions necessary (for the Christian life): the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the purse.
Martin Luther
Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that certainly helps and never fails, if you will only use it.
Martin Luther
The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity, and other devices.
Martin Luther
Also when it is a case of only upholding some spiritual tenet, such as infant baptism, original sin, and unnecessary separation, then . . . we conclude that . . . the stubborn sectaries must be put to death.
Martin Luther
The law works fear and wrath grace works hope and mercy.
Martin Luther
God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.
Martin Luther
This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
If anyone could have gained heaven as a monk, then I would indeed have been among them.
Martin Luther
Those with prodigious skill in music are better suited for all things.
Martin Luther
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God's grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.
Martin Luther
I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is the Antichrist.
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
There is on earth among all dangers no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroit reason...Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.
Martin Luther
A man cannot do good before he is made good.
Martin Luther
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
Personally I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist.
Martin Luther
