More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right. Next to faith this is the highest art - to be content with the calling in which God has placed you.
Martin Luther
Image
When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.
Martin Luther
Image
I am bound by the texts of the Bible, my conscience is captive to the Word of God, I neither can nor will recant anything, since it is neither right nor safe to act against my conscience.
Martin Luther
Image
Each betrayal begins with trust.
Martin Luther
Image
If you preach the gospel in all aspects with the exception of the issues which deal specifically with your time, you are not preaching the gospel at all.
Martin Luther
Image
If men only believe enough in Christ they can commit adultery and murder a thousand times a day without periling their salvation.
Martin Luther
Image
Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fulness and riches of his own faith.
Martin Luther
Image
Let us keep to Christ, and cling to Him, and hang on Him, so that no power can remove us.
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
A lie is like a snowball: the further you roll it the bigger it becomes.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly speech has wonderful strength and power, that through a mere word, proceeding out of the mouth of a poor human creature, the devil, that so proud and powerful spirit, should be driven away, shamed and confounded.
Martin Luther
Image
Men are not made religious by performing certain actions which are externally good, but they must first have righteous principles, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.
Martin Luther
Image
The truth of the matter is rather as Christ says, He who is not with me is against me. ... He does not say He who is not with me is not against me either, but merely neutral.
Martin Luther
Image
A unjust law, is no law at all.
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
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
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
What are the things we should pray for? First, our personal troubles...The greatest trouble we can ever know is thinking that we have no trouble for we can become hard-hearted and insensible to what is inside of us.
Martin Luther
Image
I have before me God's Word which cannot fail, nor can the gates of hell prevail against it thereby will I remain, though the whole world be against me.
Martin Luther
Image
Christians are rare people on earth.
