Image
I see a word that hates evil more than it loves good.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loses sight of the word of God, falls into despair the voice of heaven no longer sustains him he follows only the disorderly tendency of his heart.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is the master, and reason the maid-servant.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.
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
Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools.
Martin Luther
Image
I have undertaken to translate the Bible into German. This was good for me otherwise I might have died in the mistaken notion that I was a learned fellow.
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
Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
Martin Luther
Image
Our bodies are always exposed to Satan. The maladies I suffer are not natural, but Devil's spells.
Martin Luther
Image
What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God. We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and work flow.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Martin Luther
Image
You should be certain that angels are protecting you when you go to sleep. Yea, that they are protecting you also in all your business, whether you enter or leave your home.
Martin Luther
Image
A man cannot do good before he is made good.
Martin Luther
Image
One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
Rest in the Lord wait patiently for Him. In Hebrew, Be silent in God, and let Him mould thee. Keep still, and He will mould thee to the right shape.
Martin Luther
Image
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to have our conscience bound by any work or law, so that by doing this or that we should be righteous, or leaving this or that undone we should be damned.
Martin Luther
Image
The true despisers of the world are the people who accept what God sends them, gratefully use all things when they have them, and gladly do without them if God takes them away
Martin Luther
Image
We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
Martin Luther
