Martin Luther Quotes About Water

Quotes about: Water

• The priest is not made. He must be born a priest; must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.

  Martin Luther

  Christian, Children, Water

• [Christ's] mission and work it is to help against sin and death, to justify and bring life.

But we must not trust what our eyes see.

  Martin Luther

  Wine, Eye, Simple
