Quote

The two chief things are faith and love. Faith receives the good love gives the good. Faith offers us God as our own love gives us to our neighbor as his own.

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
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther
Image
Pure Christian love is not derived from the merit of the object.
Martin Luther
Image
Those who love music are gentle and honest in their tempers. I always loved music, and would not, for a great matter, be without the little skill which I possess in the art.
Martin Luther
Image
God is not hostile to sinners, but only to unbelievers.
Martin Luther
Image
For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.
Martin Luther
Image
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
Martin Luther
Image
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
Martin Luther
Image
I see a word that hates evil more than it loves good.
Martin Luther
Image
The curses of the ungodly are more pleasing to God's ears than the hallelujahs of the pious
Martin Luther
Image
Drive them [Jews] like mad dogs from our land... let not one of them live.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.
Martin Luther
Image
[Our] plan is to follow the example of the prophets and the ancient fathers of the church, and to compose psalms...so that the Word of God may be among the people also in the form of music.
Martin Luther
Image
This is the reason why our Theology is certain: because it seizes us from ourselves and places us outside ourselves.
Martin Luther
Image
At Sussen, the Devil carried off, last Good Friday, three grooms who had devoted themselves to him.
Martin Luther
Image
Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
Many sweat to reconcile St Paul and St James, but in vain. 'Faith justifies' and 'faith does not justify' contradict each other flatly. If any one can harmonize them I will give him my doctor's hood and let him call me a fool.
Martin Luther
Image
The Mass is the greatest blasphemy of God, and the highest idolatry upon earth, an abomination the like of which has never been in Christendom since the time of the Apostles.
Martin Luther
Image
And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
Martin Luther
