More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly, if faith is there, the believer cannot hold back... he breaks out into good works.
Martin Luther
Image
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
Martin Luther
Image
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
Martin Luther
Image
God is ready to give more quickly, and to give more than you ask yea, he offers his treasures if we only take them. It is truly a great shame and a severe chastisement for us Christians that God should still upbraid us for our slothfulness in prayer, and that we fail to let such a rich and excellent promise incite us to pray.
Martin Luther
Image
The priest is not made. He must be born a priest must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.
Martin Luther
Image
The church converteth the whole world by blood and prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
He who is well acquainted with the text of scripture, is a distinguished theologian. For a Bible passage or text is of more value than the comments of four authors.
Martin Luther
Image
Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
Martin Luther
Image
A good servant is a real godsend, but truly this is a rare bird in the land.
Martin Luther
Image
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
I did nothing. The Word did it all.
Martin Luther
Image
[It is] essentially wholesome and necessary, for a Christian to know, whether or not the will does any thing in those things which pertain unto Salvation. Nay, let me tell you, this is the very hinge upon which our discussion turns. It is the very heart of the subject
Martin Luther
Image
The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.
Martin Luther
Image
Christian life consists of faith and charity
Martin Luther
Image
The article of justification is fragile. Not in itself, of course, but in us. I know how quickly a person can forfeit the joy of the Gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.
Martin Luther
Image
Let us not lose the Bible, but with diligence, in fear and invocation of God, read and preach it. While that remains and flourishes, all prospers with the state 'tis head and empress of all arts and faculties. Let but divinity fall, and I would not give a straw for the rest.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith cannot be inherited or gained by being baptized into a Church. Faith is a matter between the individual and God.
Martin Luther
