Quote

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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Every man must decide whether he will walk in the creative light of altruism or the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life's persistent and most urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'
Martin Luther
Image
I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstacles, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires and to open and make straight paths. If I must have some failing let me rather speak the truth with too great sincerity than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth.
Martin Luther
Image
Indeed, to spur your Baal to action, I will taunt and challenge you ... to create as much as a single frog in the name and by the power of free choice, though the heathen and ungodly magicians in Egypt were able to create many.... I will not set you the heavy task of creating lice, which they could not produce either
Martin Luther
Image
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Martin Luther
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
Your thoughts of God are too human
Martin Luther
Image
The slender capacity of man's heart cannot comprehend the unfathomable depth and burning zeal of God's love toward us.
Martin Luther
Image
We must not regard what or how the world esteems us, so we have the Word pure, and are certain of our doctrine.
Martin Luther
Image
This is true faith, a living confidence in the goodness of God.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
women and girls begin to bare themselves behind and in front, and there is nobody to punish and hold in check, and besides, God's word is mocked.
Martin Luther
Image
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing every one must be an author some out of vanity, to acquire celebrity and raise up a name, others for the sake of mere gain.
Martin Luther
Image
Believest thou? then thou wilt speak boldly. Speakest thou boldy? then thou must suffer. Sufferest thou? then thou shalt be comforted. For faith, the confession thereof, and the cross do follow one another.
Martin Luther
Image
Ultimately, however, conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people's heads. Truth is simple one argument - perhaps a good one, perhaps not - for dealing with the difference. The difference itself exists because it exists in their thinking.
Martin Luther
Image
We may search long to find where God is, but we shall find Him in those who keep the words of Christ. For the Lord Christ saith, If any man love me, he will keep my words and we will make our abode with him.
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
I am so busy now that if I did not spend three hours each day in prayer, I could not get through the day.
Martin Luther
Image
We should die relying on grace alone
Martin Luther
Image
If I had to baptise a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words 'I baptise thee in the name of Abraham'.
Martin Luther
Image
The worship of God....should be free at table, in private rooms, downstairs, upstairs, at home, abroad, in all places, by all peoples, at all times
Martin Luther
