Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left.

Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left.
– Martin Luther –
If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don’t want to go there.
Peace if possible, truth at all costs.
– Martin Luther –
You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God, and give it to the devil, if you do not desire to live according to it.
– Martin Luther –
From this it further follows, when a Christian does good works and shows love to his neighbor, that he does not thereby become a Christian or pious, but before this is done he must have been a Christian and pious. He indeed does good works, but his good works do not make him a Christian. The tree brings or yields good fruit, but the fruit does not make the tree good. So also here, no one becomes a Christian through his works, but through Christ.
– Martin Luther –
Obedience is the crown and honour of all virtue.
– Martin Luther –
The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.
– Martin Luther –
The first thing I ask is that people should not make use of my name, and should not call themselves Lutherans but Christians. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine. Nor was I crucified for anyone. How did I, poor stinking bag of maggots that I am, come to the point where people call the children of Christ by my evil name?
– Martin Luther –
My conscience is captive to the Word of God.
