Quote

The best way to get rid of the Devil, if you cannot kill it with the words of Holy Scripture, is to rail at and mock him. Music, too, is very good music is hateful to him, and drives him far away.

Martin Luther

Someone asked Luther, Do you feel that you've been forgiven? He answered, No, but I'm as sure As there's a God in Heaven!
Martin Luther
Image
Truly, if faith is there, the believer cannot hold back... he breaks out into good works.
Martin Luther
Image
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
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
Love is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.
Martin Luther
Image
A gospel that doesn't deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.
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
There never yet have been, nor are there now, too many good books.
Martin Luther
Image
It is the most ungodly and dangerous business to abandon the certain and revealed will of God in order to search in to the hidden mysteries of God.
Martin Luther
Image
For they who think they make an end of temptation by yeilding to it, only set themselves on fire the more.
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
Good works are the seals and proofs of faith for even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works.
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
Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.
Martin Luther
Image
God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.
Martin Luther
Image
You have as much laughter as you have faith.
Martin Luther
Image
I have such hatred of divorce that I prefer bigamy to divorce. Anyway, I think we should see other people.
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
Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you
