God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
God scorns and mocks the devil, in setting under his very nose a poor, weak, human creature, mere dust and ashes, yet endowed with the firstfruits of the Spirit, against whom the devil can do nothing.
Martin Luther
Image
It is impossible for a man to be a Christian without having Christ and if he has Christ he has at the same time all that is in Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
God has surely promised His grace to the humbled: that is, to those who mourn over and despair of themselves. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another -- God alone.
Martin Luther
Image
In many countries there are particular places to which devils more especially resort. In Prussia there is an infinite number of evil spirits.
Martin Luther
Image
The slender capacity of man's heart cannot comprehend the unfathomable depth and burning zeal of God's love toward us.
Martin Luther
Image
The man who has the will to undergo all labor may win to any good.
Martin Luther
Image
Here I stand I can do no other.
Martin Luther
Image
The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.
Martin Luther
Image
No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
Martin Luther
Image
He that will maintain that man's free will is able to do or work anything in spiritual cases, be they never so small, denies Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.
Martin Luther
Image
What will you do in the mundane days of faithfulness?
Martin Luther
Image
...Hope endures and overcomes misfortune and evil.
Martin Luther
Image
Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
Martin Luther
Image
Ultimately, however, conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people's heads. Truth is simple one argument - perhaps a good one, perhaps not - for dealing with the difference. The difference itself exists because it exists in their thinking.
Martin Luther
Image
No greater mischief can happen to a Christian people, than to have God's word taken from them, or falsified, so that they no longer have it pure and clear. God grant we and our descendants be not witness to such a calamity.
Martin Luther
Image
I'd rather see heaven crash from the skies than one grain of God's truth die.
Martin Luther
Image
In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
Martin Luther
