So great are the effectiveness and power of the Word of God that the more it is persecuted the more it flourishes and grows.
Martin Luther
Image
God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.
Martin Luther

The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
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
Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.
Martin Luther
Image
I frankly confess that even if it were possible I should not wish to have free choice given to me, or to have anything left in my own hands by which I might strive for salvation.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is to be praised as second only to the Word of God because by her all the emotions are swayed. That is why there are so many songs and psalms. This precious gift has been bestowed on men alone to remind them that they are created to praise and magnify the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
Cujus region, ejus rligio (Whoever's reign, his religion) ... He who owns the country owns the Church, and he that makes your laws for you has the right to make your religion for you.
Martin Luther
Image
The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.
Martin Luther
Image
Pure Christian love is not derived from the merit of the object.
Martin Luther
Image
I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.
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
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
One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.
Martin Luther
Image
For all works and things, which are either commanded or forbidden by God and thus have been instituted by the supreme Majesty, are 'musts.' Nevertheless, no one should be dragged to them or away from them by the hair, for I can drive no man to heaven or beat him into it with a club.
Martin Luther
