Quote

It is impossible to separate works from faith- yea, just as impossible as to separate burning and shining from fire.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
Martin Luther
Image
Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.
Martin Luther
Image
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Martin Luther
Image
God created Adam lord of all living creatures, but Eve spoiled it all.
Martin Luther
Image
He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.
Martin Luther
Image
Every country must have its own devil. Welshland its own, and France its own. Our German devil will be a good wind-pipe, and must be called drinking, being so thirsty and hell-like that no guzzling of wine and beer, however large, will cool it off, and I fear that such will ever remain Germany's plague, until the day of judgment.
Martin Luther
Image
The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is free and independent in every respect, a bond servant to none. A Christian is a dutiful servant in every respect, owing a duty to everyone.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit has a way of His own to say much in few words.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
To pray well is the better half of study.
Martin Luther
Image
It cannot, indeed, be denied, that a good man is more worthy of love than a bad one.
Martin Luther
Image
There are only two days on my calendar... today and the day of judgment
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
Each betrayal begins with trust.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things that we do not see.
Martin Luther
Image
Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves?
Martin Luther
Image
I would rather obey than work miracles.
Martin Luther
