Quotes about Salvation

Every time people are converted, it is because God has come to them and overcome their ignorance by showing the Gospel to them.

Our faith in Christ does not free us from works but from false opinions concerning works, that is, from the foolish presumption that justification is acquired by works.
- Martin Luther
For if the world were without godly men and those who are to be saved, it would not stand; and when the last saints are living, the Last Day will soon come. For God has no concern for the state and the household except for the sake of the church.

- Martin Luther
For through terror He sanctifies those who believe in His name.
- Martin Luther
But the Christian life is of such a nature that it is bound daily to the vine, that is, to the Word, and is made drunk with the gifts of the Spirit or the Word. In the second place, it is not only made drunk this way by the Spirit and filled with the confidence which is the most salutary inebriation for the new man; but it is also washed in wine according to the old man.

Thus mankind cannot approach the waters of salvation but can only be prepared for them. For Prov. 16:1 says: "It is the part of man to prepare the soul." But human nature was prepared in this way by the law of Moses, because the Law prepared but did not give, just as a boy is prepared by the tutor to be fit for his inheritance, but it is the father who gives it. Therefore Christ or the faithful people in the Law already seeks to enter into grace and the church of Christ.

- Martin Luther
For the word of God cannot be received and honoured by any works, but by faith alone. Hence it is clear that as the soul needs the word alone for life and justification, so it is justified by faith alone, and not by any works. For if it could be justified by any other means, it would have no need of the word, nor consequently of faith.
- Martin Luther
This is enormous folly, and ignorance of Christian life and faith, when a man seeks, without faith, to be justified and saved by works.
- Martin Luther
We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.
- Martin Luther
So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!
- Martin Luther
