More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.
Martin Luther
Image
Some will object that the Law is divine and holy. Let it be divine and holy. The Law has no right to tell me that I must be justified by it.
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
The Holy Scriptures surpass in efficaciousness all the arts and all the sciences of the philosophers and jurists these, though good and necessary to life here below, are vain and of no effect as to what concerns the life eternal.
Martin Luther
Image
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.
Martin Luther
Image
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther
Image
The God whom we worship is not a weak and incompetent God. He is able to beat back gigantic waves of opposition and to bring low prodigious mountains of evil. The ringing testimony of the Christian faith is that God is able.
Martin Luther
Image
A man must be able to affirm, I know for certain, that what I teach is the only Word of the high Majesty of God in heaven, his final conclusion and everlasting, unchangeable truth, and whatsoever concurs and agrees not with this doctrine, is altogether false, and spun by the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly, if faith is there, the believer cannot hold back... he breaks out into good works.
Martin Luther
Image
what is sought by means of free choice is to make room for merits.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
Your God is altogether too human.
Martin Luther
Image
The organ in the worship service is a sign of Baal.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin Luther
Image
Put thou thy trust in God In duty's path go on Fix on His word thy steadfast eye So shall thy work be done.
Martin Luther
Image
And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
Martin Luther
Image
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin Luther
Image
The state of matrimony is the chief in the world after religion but people shun it because of its inconveniences, like one who, running out of the rain, falls into the river.
Martin Luther
Image
Father and Mother are apostles, bishops and priests to their children, for it is they who make them acquainted with the gospel.
