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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Know that no one can have indulged in the Holy Writers sufficiently, unless he has governed churches for a hundred years with the prophets, such as Elijah and Elisha, John the Baptist, Christ and the apostles... We are beggars: this is true.
Martin Luther
Image
This is true faith, a living confidence in the goodness of God.
Martin Luther
Image
When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.
Martin Luther
Image
Singing has nothing to do with the affairs of this world: it is not for the law. Singers are merry, and free from sorrows and cares.
Martin Luther
Image
The two chief things are faith and love. Faith receives the good love gives the good. Faith offers us God as our own love gives us to our neighbor as his own.
Martin Luther
Image
When God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.
Martin Luther
Image
There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.
Martin Luther
Image
Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
God's love does not love that which is worthy of being loved, but it creates that which is worthy of being loved.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord God, I thank Thee that Thou hast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man upon earth. I have neither house nor land nor money, to leave behind me. Thou hast given me wife and children, whom I now restore to Thee. Lord, nourish, teach, and preserve them as Thou hast me.
Martin Luther
Image
Personally I declare that I owe the Pope no other obedience than that to Antichrist.
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
The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.
Martin Luther
Image
Antichrist is the pope and the Turk [Muslim] together. A beast full of life must have a body and soul. The spirit or soul of Antichrist is the pope, his flesh or body the Turk.
Martin Luther
Image
Your thoughts of God are too human
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.
Martin Luther
Image
A man must be able to affirm, I know for certain, that what I teach is the only Word of the high Majesty of God in heaven, his final conclusion and everlasting, unchangeable truth, and whatsoever concurs and agrees not with this doctrine, is altogether false, and spun by the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
If you could understand a single grain of wheat you would die of wonder.
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
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
Martin Luther
