Martin Luther

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

If he have faith, the believer cannot be restrained. He betrays himself. He breaks out. He confesses and teaches this gospel to the people at the risk of life itself.

Faith must trample under foot all reason, sense, and understanding.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.
