Quote

Some will object that the Law is divine and holy. Let it be divine and holy. The Law has no right to tell me that I must be justified by it.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
Martin Luther
Image
When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.
Martin Luther
Image
Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
Martin Luther
Image
The man who has the will to undergo all labor may win to any good.
Martin Luther
Image
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Martin Luther
Image
When God works in us, the will, being changed and sweetly breathed upon by the Spirit of God, desires and acts, not from compulsion, but responsively.
Martin Luther
Image
We must beat the Gospel into peoples' heads incessantly because it's the one thing we're prone to forget.
Martin Luther
Image
Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.
Martin Luther
Image
If a man serves not God only, then surely he serves the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
This doctrine (justification) is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God and without it the church of God cannot exist for one hour.
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
Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten
Martin Luther
Image
Like the early Christians, we must move into a sometime hostile world armed with the revolutionary gospel of Jesus Christ. With this powerful gospel we shall boldly challenge the status quo.
Martin Luther
Image
But then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!
Martin Luther
Image
We must meet hate with love. We must meet physical force with soul force.
Martin Luther
Image
No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.
Martin Luther
Image
A unjust law, is no law at all.
Martin Luther
Image
The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.
Martin Luther
Image
This is the good and happy news, that Christ has paid for our sin, and through His suffering has redeemed us from eternal death. It is His kingdom and His ministry, to preach the Gospel to the poor that is His purpose. For to the great and holy He cannot come. They do not wish to be counted sinners, and therefore do not need His Gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
Hereby we may understand that God, of His special grace, maketh the teachers of the gospel subject to the Cross, and to all kinds of afflicitons, for the salvation of themselves and of the people for otherwise they could by no means beat down this beast which is called vain-glory.
Martin Luther
