LUTHER QUOTES

Daily Luther Quote

We must not start something by trusting in great power or human reason, even if all the power in the world were ours. For God cannot and will not suffer that a good work begin by relying upon one's own power

and reason. (AE 44:125)

Daily Luther Quote

Lord God, anybody who can't believe that Christ is in the bread [of Communion], in the grain of wheat, will believe the creation even less! That all of creation was made from nothing is a higher article of faith.

Much less will he believe that God became man, and least of all that there are three persons in one substance. Reason lets this be. (AE 54:471)

Daily Luther Quote

There is no true, basic difference between laymen and priests, princes and bishops, between religious and secular, except for the sake of office

and work, but not for the sake of status. They are all of the spiritual estate; all are truly priests, bishops and popes. But they do not all have

the same work to do. (AE 44:129)

Our Lord God must be a devout man to be able to love knaves. I myself can't do it, although I am a knave myself. (AE 54:32)

Daily Luther Quote

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a person would stake his life on it a thousand times. . . . Oh, it is a living, busy, active, mighty thing, this faith; and so it is impossible for it not to do

good works incessantly. (Preface: Romans)
