Quote

God does not work salvation for fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin vigorously... Do not for a moment imagine that this life is the abiding place of justice sin must be committed.

Image
Wer nicht liebt Wein,Weib und Gesang, Der bleibt ein Narr sein Leben lang. Who loves not woman, wine and song Remains a fool his whole life long.
Martin Luther
Image
The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
God has set the type of marriage through creation. Each creature seeks its perfection in another.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.
Martin Luther
Image
If we esteem them too highly, good works can become the greatest idolatry.
Martin Luther
Image
Jesus Christ never died for our good works. They were not worth dying for. But he gave himself for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
Martin Luther
Image
Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves?
Martin Luther
Image
Those who lapse from the Gospel to the Law are no better off than those who lapse from grace to idolatry.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ sayeth not, Abstain from the flesh, from marrying, from housekeeping, etc., as the Papists teach, for that were even to invite the devil and all his fellows to a feast.
Martin Luther
Image
The more a person loves, the closer he approaches the image of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstacles, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires and to open and make straight paths. If I must have some failing let me rather speak the truth with too great sincerity than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the enemy of faith.
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
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther
Image
God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.
Martin Luther
Image
Sin is essentially a departure from God.
Martin Luther
Image
We conclude, therefore, that a Christian lives not in himself, but in Christ and in his neighbor. Otherwise he is not a Christian. He lives in Christ through faith, in his neighbor through love. By faith he is caught up beyond himself into God. By love he descends beneath himself into his neighbor.
Martin Luther
Image
May the Lord fill you with His blessings and with hatred of the Pope.
Martin Luther
Image
I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all.
Martin Luther
Image
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
Martin Luther
