More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made His greatest gifts the commonest.
Martin Luther
Image
There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.
Martin Luther
Image
The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.
Martin Luther
Image
My temptations have been my Masters of Divinity.
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 Holy Scriptures surpass in efficaciousness all the arts and all the sciences of the philosophers and jurists these, though good and necessary to life here below, are vain and of no effect as to what concerns the life eternal.
Martin Luther
Image
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.
Martin Luther
Image
The hair is the finest ornament women have. Of old, virgins used to wear it loose, except when they were in mourning.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian has no need of any law in order to be saved, since through faith we are free from every law. Thus all the acts of a Christian are done spontaneously, out of a sense of pure liberty.
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
Being by his faith replaced afresh in paradise and created anew, he (the believer)does not need works for his justification, but that he may not be idle, but that he may exercise his own body and preserve it. His works are to be done freely, with the sole object of pleasing God.
Martin Luther
Image
The winds are nothing else but good or bad spirits. Hark! how the Devil is puffing and blowing.
Martin Luther
Image
May the Lord fill you with His blessings and with hatred of the Pope.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the proper book for men. There the truth is distinguished from error far more clearly than anywhere else, and one finds something new in it every day. For twenty-eight years, since I became a doctor, I have now constantly read and preached the Bible and yet I have not exhausted it but find something new in it every day.
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
False preachers are worse than deflowerers of virgins.
Martin Luther
Image
When we hear that Christ was made a curse for us, let us believe it with joy and assurance. By faith Christ changes places with us. He gets our sins, we get His holiness.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ wants to slay reason and subdue the arrogance of the Jews.
Martin Luther
