Quote

Our suffering is not worthy the name of suffering. When I consider my crosses, tribulations, and temptations, I shame myself almost to death, thinking what are they in comparison of the sufferings of my blessed Savior Christ Jesus.

Image
The Holy Spirit is no skeptic. He has written neither doubt nor mere opinion into our hearts, but rather solid assurances, which are more sure and solid than all experience and even life itself.
Martin Luther
Image
Take this to heart and doubt not that you are the one who killed Christ. Your sins certainly did, and when you see the nails driven through his hands, be sure that you are pondering, and when the thorns pierce his brow, know that they are your evil thoughts.
Martin Luther
Image
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Martin Luther
Image
If there is anything in us, it is not our own it is a gift of God. But if it is a gift of God, then it is entirely a debt one owes to love, that is, to the law of Christ. And if it is a debt owed to love, then I must serve others with it, not myself.
Martin Luther
Image
All we who believe on Christ are kings and priests in Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
If obedience is not rendered in the homes, we shall never have a whole city, country, principality, or kingdom well governed. For this order in the homes is the first rule it is the source of all other rule and government.
Martin Luther
Image
After the devil himself, there is no worse folk than the pope and his followers.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.
Martin Luther
Image
We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
Martin Luther
Image
Some plague the people with too long sermons for the faculty of listening is a tender thing, and soon becomes weary and satiated.
Martin Luther
Image
At Sussen, the Devil carried off, last Good Friday, three grooms who had devoted themselves to him.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity, and other devices.
Martin Luther
Image
The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.
Martin Luther
Image
One drop of Christ's blood is worth more than heaven and earth.
Martin Luther
Image
For they who think they make an end of temptation by yeilding to it, only set themselves on fire the more.
Martin Luther
Image
One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
God's mark is on everything that obeys Him.
Martin Luther
Image
Prayer is a powerful thing for God has bound and tied himself thereunto.
Martin Luther
Image
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
Martin Luther
Image
Some will object that the Law is divine and holy. Let it be divine and holy. The Law has no right to tell me that I must be justified by it.
Martin Luther
