The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands

The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands

Lying, Hands, Grace

God has surely promised His grace to the humbled: that is, to those who mourn over and despair of themselves. But a man cannot be thoroughly humbled till he realizes that his salvation is utterly beyond his own powers, counsels, efforts, will and works, and depends absolutely on the will, counsel, pleasure and work of Another -- God alone.

Men, Effort, Grace

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, 'Do this,' and it is never done. Grace says, 'Believe in this,' and everything is already done.

Believe, Law, Grace

Martin Luther (2012). “Martin Luther's Basic Theological Writings”, p.56, Fortress Press

The will of man without the grace of God is not free at all, but is the permanent prisoner and bondslave of evil since it cannot turn itself to good.

Men, Evil, Grace

Let Christ's righteousness and grace, not yours, be your refuge.

Grace, Christ, Righteousness

Faith is a living, daring, confidence in God's grace.

Faith, Grace, Daring

Martin Luther, J. Theodore Mueller (2003). “Commentary on Romans”, p.17, Kregel Publications

Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy Spirit makes this happen through faith. Because of it, you freely, willingly and joyfully do good to everyone, serve everyone, suffer all kinds of things, love and praise the God who has shown you such grace.

Christian, Grace, Risk

Those who lapse from the Gospel to the Law are no better off than those who lapse from grace to idolatry.

Law, Grace, Lapses

Martin Luther (1972). “A Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians”, p.164, CCEL

A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.

Men, Order, Grace

Martin Luther (2011). “Martin Luther: Selections From His Writing”, p.502, Anchor

To be convinced in our hearts that we have forgiveness of sins and peace with God by grace alone is the hardest thing.

Heart, Grace, Peace With God

The inner man cannot be forced to do out of his own free will, what he should do, except the grace of God change the heart and make it willing.

Heart, Men, Grace

Martin Luther (2007). “Through the Year with Martin Luther: A Selection of Sermons Celebrating the Feasts and Seasons of the Christian Year”, p.32, Hendrickson Publishers

This is the mystery of the riches of divine grace for sinners; for by a wonderful exchange our sins are now not ours but Christ's, and Christ's righteousness is not Christ's but ours.

Grace, Riches, Mystery

If any man doth ascribe of salvation, even the very least, to the free will of man, he knoweth nothing of grace, and he hath not learnt Jesus Christ aright.

Jesus, Men, Grace

Does it follow from: 'turn ye' that therefore you can turn? Does it follow from "'Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart' (Deut 6.5) that therefore you can love with all your heart? What do arguments of this kind prove, but the 'free-will' does not need the grace of God, but can do all things by its own power....But it does not follow from this that man is converted by his own power, nor do the words say so; they simply say: "if thou wilt turn,telling man what he should do. When he knows it, and sees that he cannot do it, he will ask whence he may find ability to do it..." 164

Heart, Men, Grace

Christ is no Moses, no exactor, no giver of laws, but a giver of grace, a Savior; he is infinite mercy and goodness, freely and bountifully given to us.

Law, Grace, Infinite

We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.

Grace, Bones, Weary

Martin Luther (2007). “Commentary on Galatians”, p.8, Lulu.com

The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.

Men, Grace, Consent

But Satan, the god of all dissension, stirreth up daily new sects, and last of all (which of all other I should never have foreseen or once suspected) he hath raised up a sect of such as teach that the Ten Commandments ought to be taken out of the church, and that men should not be terrified with the law, but gently exerted by the preaching of the grace of Christ.

Men, Law, Grace

"A Commentary on St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians".

We should die relying on grace alone

Grace, Christianity, Should

Martin Luther (1959). “What Luther says: an anthology”, Concordia

It is false that the will, left to itself, can do good as well as evil, for it is not free, but in bondage...On the side of man there is nothing that goes before grace, unless it be impotency and even rebellion.

Men, Evil, Grace

The law works fear and wrath; grace works hope and mercy.

Wrath, Law, Grace

Martin Luther (1962). “Early theological works”, London, S.C.M.,P

When I was abandoned by everybody, in my greatest weakness, trembling and afraid of death, when I was persecuted by this wicked world, then I often felt most surely the divine power in this name, Jesus Christ... So, by God's grace, I will live and die for that name.

Jesus, Names, Grace

All the passages in the Holy Scriptures that mention assistance are they that do away with "free-will", and these are countless...For grace is needed, and the help of grace is given, because "free-will" can do nothing.

Grace, Scripture, Helping

Grace remits sin, and peace quiets the conscience. Sin and conscience torment us, but Christ has overcome these fiends now and forever.

Forever, Grace, Overcoming

Martin Luther (2007). “Commentary on Galatians”, p.8, Lulu.com

We must meet hate with love. We must meet physical force with soul force.

Hate, Soul, Grace
