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.

More quotes by Martin Luther
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
I cannot believe that my illness is natural. I suspect Satan, and therefore I am the more inclined to take it lightly.
Martin Luther
Married love burns as fire, and seeks nothing more than the mate. It says, I want only you
Martin Luther
In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits.
Martin Luther
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
For that purpose Christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. It is tantamount to his saying, My righteousness shall be your righteousness my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.
Martin Luther
He who is well acquainted with the text of scripture, is a distinguished theologian. For a Bible passage or text is of more value than the comments of four authors.
Martin Luther
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God's grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.
Martin Luther
Christian living does not mean to be good but to become good not to be well, but to get well not being but becoming nor rest but training. We are not yet, but we shall be. It has not yet happened, but it is the way. Not everything shines and sparkles as yet, but everything is getting better.
Martin Luther
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
Martin Luther
If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.
Martin Luther
But the power of God cannot be so determined and measured, for it is uncircumscribed and immeasurable, beyond and above all that is or may be. On the other hand, it must be essentially present at all places, even in the tiniest tree leaf.
Martin Luther
After the devil himself, there is no worse folk than the pope and his followers.
Martin Luther
When Eve was brought unto Adam, he became filled with the Holy Spirit, and gave her the most sanctified, the most glorious of appellations. He called, her Eva--that is to say, the Mother of All. He did not style her wife, but simply mother--mother of all living creatures. In this consists the glory and the most precious ornament of woman.
Martin Luther
When God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.
Martin Luther
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
Indeed, to spur your Baal to action, I will taunt and challenge you ... to create as much as a single frog in the name and by the power of free choice, though the heathen and ungodly magicians in Egypt were able to create many.... I will not set you the heavy task of creating lice, which they could not produce either
Martin Luther
A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
Martin Luther
I put the Scriptures above all the sayings of the fathers, angels, men and devils. Here I take my stand.
Martin Luther
