Quote (Martin Luther): "I wonder where this new religion arose in which anything said against an adversary is labeled abuse."[2]
Quote (Martin Luther): "The cross alone is our theology." [25]
Quote (Martin Luther): "The love of God does not find, but creates, that which is pleasing to it." [26]
Quote (Martin Luther): "Unless I am convinced by the testimony of Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound to the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. I cannot do otherwise. Here I stand. I can do no other. God help me. Amen." [37-38]
Quote (Philip Melanchthon in Luther's funeral oration): "Some have complained that Luther displayed too much severity. I will not deny this. But I answer in the language of Erasmus: 'Because of the magnitude of the disorders, God gave this age a violent physician.'" [218]
Quote (Martin Luther): "Do not argue with Satan about the law. Make him discuss grace." [69]
Quote (Guy Prentiss Waters): "The evangelical church faces a contemporary challenge to the doctrine of justification by faith alone in the form of what has been called the New Perspective on Paul." [125]
Quote (Johann von Staupitz): "One must keep one's eyes fixed on that man who is called Christ." [147]
Quote (Sinclair Ferguson): "To overcome the devil, therefore, the believer must rest in all the blessings that are freely given to him in Christ and rejoice in them." [155]
Quote (Martin Luther): "Thus when I hear that Jesus Christ died, took away my sin, gained heaven for me, and me all that He has, I am hearing the Gospel." [166]
Quote (Martin Luther): "God does not need our good works, but our neighbor does." [183]
Quote (Martin Luther): "Scripture simply confesses the trinity of God and the humanity of Christ. There is nothing here of obscurity or ambiguity. But how these things can be, Scripture does not say..., nor is it necessary to know." [204] ( )
