We must beat the Gospel into peoples' heads incessantly because it's the one thing we're prone to forget.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the 'doers of the word' in faith and love, and not the 'mere hearers,' who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.
Martin Luther
Image
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
Martin Luther
Image
We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
Martin Luther
Image
At Sussen, the Devil carried off, last Good Friday, three grooms who had devoted themselves to him.
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
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
The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.
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
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that the believer would stake his life on it a thousand times.
Martin Luther
Image
It is God who creates, effects, and preserves all things through his almighty.
Martin Luther
Image
People give ear to an upstart astrologer [Copernicus]...this fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy
Martin Luther
Image
Christ ought to be preached with this goal in mind--that we might be moved to faith in him so that he is not just a distant historical figure but actually Christ for you and me.
Martin Luther
Image
It is an unsufferable blasphemy to reject the public ministry or to say that people can become holy without sermons and Church. This involves a destruction of the Church and rebellion against ecclesiastical order such upheavals must be warded off and punished like all other revolts.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther
Image
In the midst of the affliction He counsels, strengthens confirms, nourishes, and favors us.... More over, when we have repented, He instantly remits the sins as well as the punishments. In the same manner parents ought to handle their children.
Martin Luther
Image
When one is possessed with doubt, that though he call upon the Lord he cannot be heard, and that God has turned him heart from him, and is angry ... he must arm himself with God's Word, promising to hear him.
Martin Luther
Image
Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the way of the Sacramentarians, nor sat in the seat of the Zwinglians, nor followed the Council of the Zurichers.
Martin Luther
Image
But then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!
Martin Luther
Image
Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
Martin Luther
