Back to the Fundamentals

[jehoshabeath]

Recently in the midst of a bunch of theological and doctrinal study, I've found myself running back to the word of God. I really like these quotes by Luther. Thanks so much for passing them along, Dad

A man indeed eager to bring all glory and honor to God...here is another quote from him that has helped me in my bible reading and study: "That the Holy Scriptures cannot be penetrated by study and talent is most certain. Therefore your first duty is to begin to pray, and to pray to this effect that if it please God to accomplish something for His glory-not for yours or any other person’s-He very graciously grant you a true understanding of His words. For no master of the divine words exists except the Author of these words, as He says: ‘They shall be all taught of God’ (John 6:45). You must, therefore, completely despair of your own industry and ability and rely solely on the inspiration of the Spirit [What Luther Says: An Anthology, Vol. 1, p. 77].

What a powerful reminder! Thank you so much for sharing this quote - I needed to hear this.
