Quote

Faith cannot be inherited or gained by being baptized into a Church. Faith is a matter between the individual and God.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.
Martin Luther
Image
Our loving God wills that we eat, drink and be merry.
Martin Luther
Image
The less I pray, the harder it gets the more I pray, the better it goes.
Martin Luther
Image
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
Martin Luther
Image
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools.
Martin Luther
Image
The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that certainly helps and never fails, if you will only use it.
Martin Luther
Image
Ultimately, however, conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people's heads. Truth is simple one argument - perhaps a good one, perhaps not - for dealing with the difference. The difference itself exists because it exists in their thinking.
Martin Luther
Image
This error of free will is a special doctrine of the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
We may search long to find where God is, but we shall find Him in those who keep the words of Christ. For the Lord Christ saith, If any man love me, he will keep my words and we will make our abode with him.
Martin Luther
Image
The bible is the cradle that holds the Christ, without him it is nothing more than wood and straw.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
The state of matrimony is the chief in the world after religion but people shun it because of its inconveniences, like one who, running out of the rain, falls into the river.
Martin Luther
Image
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther
Image
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say
Martin Luther
Image
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Martin Luther
Image
The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the 'doers of the word' in faith and love, and not the 'mere hearers,' who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.
Martin Luther
Image
Sin is essentially a departure from God.
Martin Luther
