Quote

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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
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
Image
I have done nothing the Word has done and accomplished everything.... I let the Word do its work!
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews.
Martin Luther
Image
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.
Martin Luther
Image
I am so busy now that if I did not spend three hours each day in prayer, I could not get through the day.
Martin Luther
Image
Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.
Martin Luther
Image
God scorns and mocks the devil, in setting under his very nose a poor, weak, human creature, mere dust and ashes, yet endowed with the firstfruits of the Spirit, against whom the devil can do nothing.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever we make the most of is our God.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen
Martin Luther
Image
We believe that the very beginning and end of salvation, and the sum of Christianity, consists of faith in Christ, who by His blood alone, and not by any works of ours, has put away sin, and destroyed the power of death.
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
One drop of Christ's blood is worth more than heaven and earth.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity, and other devices.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing on earth is so well-suited to make the sad merry, the merry sad, to give courage to the despairing, to make the proud humble, to lessen envy and hate, as music.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply roundly, and plainly for teaching is of more importance than exhorting.
Martin Luther
Image
There are only two days on my calendar... today and the day of judgment
Martin Luther
Image
I should have no compassion on these witches I should burn them all.
Martin Luther
Image
The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.
Martin Luther
Image
The Mass is the greatest blasphemy of God, and the highest idolatry upon earth, an abomination the like of which has never been in Christendom since the time of the Apostles.
Martin Luther
