More quotes by Martin Luther
Christians are rare people on earth.
Martin Luther
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
Despair makes priests and friars.
Martin Luther
The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
Martin Luther
After theology I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.
Martin Luther
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
The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.
Martin Luther
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
Martin Luther
It is a good thing to let prayer be the first business of the morning and the last of the evening.
Martin Luther
We know, on the authority of Moses, that longer than six thousand years the world did not exist.
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
We should consider the histories of Christ three manner of ways first, as a history of acts or legends second, as a gift or a present thirdly, as an example, which we should believe and follow.
Martin Luther
The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.
Martin Luther
Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.
Martin Luther
God has surely promised His grace to the humbled: that is, to those who mourn over and despair of themselves. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another -- God alone.
Martin Luther
Over against the devil and his missionaries, the authors of false doctrines and sects, we ought to be like the Apostle, impatient, and rigorously condemnatory, as parents are with the dog that bites their little one, but the weeping child itself they soothe.
Martin Luther
There are two days in my calendar: This day and that Day.
Martin Luther
It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ and if he has Christ he has at the same time all that is in Christ.
Martin Luther
Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.
Martin Luther
