Quote

The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
To worship God in spirit is the service and homage of the heart, and implies fear of God and trust in Him.
Martin Luther
Image
One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.
Martin Luther
Image
Christian life consists of faith and charity
Martin Luther
Image
An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body, for the service of Christendom and of the church.
Martin Luther
Image
I must remain a child and pupil of the Catechism, and am glad so to remain.
Martin Luther
Image
The priest is not made. He must be born a priest must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.
Martin Luther
Image
First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf.
Martin Luther
Image
Without images we can neither think nor understand anything.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin Luther
Image
If a man serves not God only, then surely he serves the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.
Martin Luther
Image
When I was abandoned by everybody, in my greatest weakness, trembling and afraid of death, when I was persecuted by this wicked world, then I often felt most surely the divine power in this name, Jesus Christ... So, by God's grace, I will live and die for that name.
Martin Luther
Image
This is the good and happy news, that Christ has paid for our sin, and through His suffering has redeemed us from eternal death. It is His kingdom and His ministry, to preach the Gospel to the poor that is His purpose. For to the great and holy He cannot come. They do not wish to be counted sinners, and therefore do not need His Gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Martin Luther
Image
Man is man because he is free to operate within a framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives. He is distinguished from animals by his freedom to do evil or to do good and to walk the high road of beauty or tread the low road of ugly degeneracy.
Martin Luther
Image
I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.
Martin Luther
Image
In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible.
Martin Luther
Image
Count it one of the highest virtues upon earth to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few, and scarcely any, do by their own.
Martin Luther
Image
Married love burns as fire, and seeks nothing more than the mate. It says, I want only you
Martin Luther
Image
The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character.
