The Holy Ghost has called me by the gospel and illuminated me with his gifts and sanctified and preserved me in the true faith.
Martin LutherWhoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin LutherHow great, therefore, the wickedness of human nature is! How many girls there are who prevent conception and kill and expel tender fetuses, although procreation is the work of God.
Martin LutherIt is not I that smite, stab, and slay, but God and my prince, for my hand and my body are now their servants.
Martin LutherThe spiritual rest, which God particularly intends in this Commandment, is this: that we not only cease from our labor and trade, but much more, that we let God alone work in us and that we do nothing of our own with all our powers.
Martin LutherChristian living does not mean to be good but to become good; not to be well, but to get well; not being but becoming; nor rest but training. We are not yet, but we shall be. It has not yet happened, but it is the way. Not everything shines and sparkles as yet, but everything is getting better.
Martin Luther
