Image
If God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
Image
My temptations have been my Masters of Divinity.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is to be praised as second only to the Word of God because by her all the emotions are swayed. That is why there are so many songs and psalms. This precious gift has been bestowed on men alone to remind them that they are created to praise and magnify the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is the 5th gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
God is not hostile to sinners, but only to unbelievers.
Martin Luther
Image
The works of the righteous would be mortal sins if they would not be feared as mortal sins by the righteous themselves out of pious fear of God.
Martin Luther
Image
What would it matter if, for the sake of the Christian Church, one were to tell a big lie?
Martin Luther
Image
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the proper book for men. There the truth is distinguished from error far more clearly than anywhere else, and one finds something new in it every day. For twenty-eight years, since I became a doctor, I have now constantly read and preached the Bible and yet I have not exhausted it but find something new in it every day.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things that we do not see.
Martin Luther
Image
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther
Image
Heavy thoughts bring on physical maladies when the soul is oppressed so is the body.
Martin Luther
Image
God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.
Martin Luther
Image
Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.
Martin Luther
Image
Take a look at your own heart, and you will soon find out what has stuck to it and where your treasure is. It is easy to determine whether hearing the Word of God, living according to it, and achieving such a life gives you as much enjoyment and calls forth as much diligence from you as does accumulating and saving money and property.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly, if faith is there, the believer cannot hold back... he breaks out into good works.
Martin Luther
Image
The hair is the finest ornament women have. Of old, virgins used to wear it loose, except when they were in mourning.
Martin Luther
Image
Of all deadly sins, this is the most deadly, namely, that any one should think he is not guilty of a damnable and deadly sin before God.
Martin Luther
