Quote

How rich a God our God is! He gives enough, but we don't notice it. He gave the whole world to Adam, but this was nothing in Adam's eyes he was concerned about one tree and had to ask why God had forbidden him to eat it.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
If God had not permitted the people of Jerusalem to be torn asunder and driven them from the land, but had let them keep it after before, no one could convince them that they are not God`s chosen people.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to have our conscience bound by any work or law, so that by doing this or that we should be righteous, or leaving this or that undone we should be damned.
Martin Luther
Image
He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray.
Martin Luther
Image
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
Those with prodigious skill in music are better suited for all things.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is the 5th gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
When God works in us, the will, being changed and sweetly breathed upon by the Spirit of God, desires and acts, not from compulsion, but responsively.
Martin Luther
Image
You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther
Image
Many sweat to reconcile St Paul and St James, but in vain. 'Faith justifies' and 'faith does not justify' contradict each other flatly. If any one can harmonize them I will give him my doctor's hood and let him call me a fool.
Martin Luther
Image
Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.
Martin Luther
Image
Where faith is not continually kept in motion and exercised, it weakens and decreases, so that it must indeed vanish and yet we do not see nor feel this weakness ourselves, except in times of need and temptation, when unbelief rages too strongly and yet for that very reason faith must have temptations in which it may battle and grow.
Martin Luther
Image
All our work in the field, in the garden, in the city, in the home, in struggle, in government-to what does it all amount before God except child's play, by means of which God is pleased to give his gifts in the field, at home, and everywhere? These are the masks of our Lord God, behind which he wants to be hidden and to do all things.
Martin Luther
Image
I have always loved music whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperament, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music
Martin Luther
Image
Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
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
Great thieves go Scott-free, as the Pope and his crew.
Martin Luther
Image
If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin Luther
Image
The worship of God....should be free at table, in private rooms, downstairs, upstairs, at home, abroad, in all places, by all peoples, at all times
Martin Luther
