More quotes by 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
The certain mark by which a Christian community can be recognized is the preaching of the gospel in its purity.
Martin Luther
Image
I believe that the devil has destroyed many good books of the church, as, aforetime, he killed and crushed many holy persons, the memory of whom has now passed away but the Bible he was fain to leave subsisting.
Martin Luther
Image
The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.
Martin Luther
Image
The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.
Martin Luther
Image
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
Martin Luther
Image
Those speak foolishly who ascribe their anger or their impatience to such as offend them or to tribulation. Tribulation does not make people impatient, but proves that they are impatient. So everyone may learn from tribulation how his heart is constituted.
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
Heaven and earth, all the emperors, kings, and princes of the world, could not raise a fit dwelling-place for God yet, in a weak human soul, that keeps His Word, He willingly resides.
Martin Luther
Image
The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.
Martin Luther
Image
As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars.
Martin Luther
Image
Mary was not only holy. She was also the mother of the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
Our bodies are always exposed to Satan. The maladies I suffer are not natural, but Devil's spells.
Martin Luther
Image
Heretics cannot themselves appear good unless they depict the Church as evil, false, and mendacious. They alone wish to be esteemed as the good, but the Church must be made to appear evil in every respect.
Martin Luther
Image
A gospel that doesn't deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.
Martin Luther
Image
My temptations have been my Masters of Divinity.
Martin Luther
Image
I only ask in all kindness that the man who wishes at this time to have my books will by no means let them be a hindrance to his own study of the Scriptures, but read them as I read the orders and the ordures of the pope and the books of the sophists.
Martin Luther
Image
It is necessary to understand that Black Power is a cry of disappointment. The Black Power slogan did not spring full grown from the head of some philosophical Zeus. It was born from the wounds of despair and disappointment. It is a cry of daily hurt and persistent pain.
Martin Luther
Image
How often have not the demons called 'Nix,' drawn women and girls into the water, and there had commerce with them, with fearful consequences.
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.
