Martin Luther

“Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.”

“Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.”

“All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.”

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.”

“If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.”

“Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.”

“Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?”

“Blood alone moves the wheels of history.”

“Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.”
