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
God foreknows nothing by contingency, but that He foresees, purposes, and does all things according to His immutable, eternal, and infallible will. By this thunderbolt, Free-will is thrown prostrate, and utterly dashed to pieces.
Martin Luther
Image
One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.
Martin Luther
Image
If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin Luther
Image
We should die relying on grace alone
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

Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten
Martin Luther
Image
God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.
Martin Luther
Image
No gown worse becomes a woman than the desire to be wise.
Martin Luther
Image
One Book is enough, but a thousand books is not too many!
Martin Luther
Image
How rich a God our God is! He gives enough, but we don't notice it. He gave the whole world to Adam, but this was nothing in Adam's eyes he was concerned about one tree and had to ask why God had forbidden him to eat it.
Martin Luther
Image
It is the duty of every Christian to be Christ to his neighbor.
Martin Luther
Image
God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.
Martin Luther
Image
And I'll tell you, I've seen the lightning flash. I've heard the thunder roll. I felt sin-breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul. But I heard the voice of Jesus saying still to fight on. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. No, never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.
Martin Luther
Image
Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I have grounded my preaching upon the literal word he that pleases may follow me he that will not may stay.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.
Martin Luther
Image
When some say that good works are forbidden when we preach faith alone, it is as if I said to a sick man: If you had health, you would have the use of all your limbs but without health, the works of all your limbs are nothing and he wanted to infer that I had forbidden the works of all his limbs.
Martin Luther
Image
He that will maintain that man's free will is able to do or work anything in spiritual cases, be they never so small, denies Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
A penny saved is of more value than a penny paid out.
Martin Luther
Image
Count it one of the highest virtues upon earth to educate faithfully the children of others, which so few, and scarcely any, do by their own.
Martin Luther
