The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough ... Moreover, our greatest task is to keep you faithful to this article and to bequeath this treasure to you when we die.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
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
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 devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
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
Feelings come, and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving. My warrant is the Word of God, naught else is worth believing.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ is the master the Scriptures are only the servant.
Martin Luther
Image
You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God, and give it to the devil, if you do not desire to live according to it.
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
Men are so delving into the mysteries of things that today a boy of twenty knows more than twenty doctors formerly knew.
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 should have no compassion on these witches I should burn them all.
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 maintain that some Jew wrote it who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any.
Martin Luther
Image
It is as if a wolf devoured a sheep and the sheep were so powerful that it transformed the wolf and turned him into a sheep. So, when we eat Christ's flesh physically and spiritually, the food is so powerful that it transforms us.
Martin Luther
Image
God may delay, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
When the Scripture speaks, God speaks
Martin Luther
Image
As concerning faith we ought to be invincible, and more hard, if it might be, than the adamant stone but as touching charity, we ought to be soft, and more flexible than the reed or leaf that is shaken with the wind, and ready to yield to everything.
Martin Luther
Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
Martin Luther
Image
Everything is from God himself, both commandment and fulfillment. He alone commands he alone fulfills.
Martin Luther
Image
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.
Martin Luther
