More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
Martin Luther
Image
You have as much laughter as you have faith.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole Turkish empire is nothing else but a crust cast by Heaven's great Housekeeper to His dogs.
Martin Luther
Image
If you could understand a single grain of wheat you would die of wonder.
Martin Luther
Image
I frankly confess that even if it were possible I should not wish to have free choice given to me, or to have anything left in my own hands by which I might strive for salvation.
Martin Luther
Image
The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right. Next to faith this is the highest art - to be content with the calling in which God has placed you.
Martin Luther
Image
Believest thou? then thou wilt speak boldly. Speakest thou boldy? then thou must suffer. Sufferest thou? then thou shalt be comforted. For faith, the confession thereof, and the cross do follow one another.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is alive, it speaks to me it has feet, it runs after me it has hands, it lays hold of me.
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
The certain mark by which a Christian community can be recognized is the preaching of the gospel in its purity.
Martin Luther
Image
Our Lord God doesn't do great things except by violence, as they say
Martin Luther
Image
For that purpose Christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. It is tantamount to his saying, My righteousness shall be your righteousness my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.
Martin Luther
Image
I maintain that some Jew wrote it who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any.
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
My counsel is, that we draw water from the true source and fountain, that is, that we diligently search the Scriptures. He who wholly possesses the text of the Bible, is a consummate divine.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.
Martin Luther
Image
Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
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
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
