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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
God's entire divine nature is wholly and entirely in all creatures, more deeply, more inwardly, more present than the creature is to itself.
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
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
Take this to heart and doubt not that you are the one who killed Christ. Your sins certainly did, and when you see the nails driven through his hands, be sure that you are pondering, and when the thorns pierce his brow, know that they are your evil thoughts.
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
Whoever does not know God hidden in suffering does not know God at all.
Martin Luther
Image
I'd rather see heaven crash from the skies than one grain of God's truth die.
Martin Luther
Image
To worship God in spirit is the service and homage of the heart, and implies fear of God and trust in Him.
Martin Luther
Image
Exhort your household to learn [the Ten Commandments] word for word, that they should obey God…For if you teach and urge your families things will go forward.
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
Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.
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
Christian living does not mean to be good but to become good not to be well, but to get well not being but becoming nor rest but training. We are not yet, but we shall be. It has not yet happened, but it is the way. Not everything shines and sparkles as yet, but everything is getting better.
Martin Luther
Image
But the power of God cannot be so determined and measured, for it is uncircumscribed and immeasurable, beyond and above all that is or may be. On the other hand, it must be essentially present at all places, even in the tiniest tree leaf.
Martin Luther
Image
The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin Luther
Image
Each betrayal begins with trust.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not the imitation that makes sons it is sonship that makes imitators.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ is no Moses, no exactor, no giver of laws, but a giver of grace, a Savior he is infinite mercy and goodness, freely and bountifully given to us.
Martin Luther
