Martin Luther
Image
Godly people are waiting for the Lord therefore they live, therefore they are saved, therefore they receive what has been promised.
Martin Luther
Image
God created Adam master and lord of living creatures, but Eve spoilt all, when she persuaded him to set himself above God's will. 'Tis you women, with your tricks and artifices, that lead men into error.
Martin Luther
Image
No man should be alone when he opposes Satan. The Church and the ministry of the Word were instituted for this purpose, that hands may be joined together and one may help another.
Martin Luther

When the Scripture speaks, God speaks
Martin Luther

An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
