I Humble

II Bible
Isaiah 66:1–2 (NKJV)
1Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?
2For all those things My hand has made, And all those things exist,” Says the Lord. “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.
III Righteous
Isaiah 56:1–2 (NKJV)
1Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, For My salvation is about to come, And My righteousness to be revealed.
2Blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who lays hold on it; Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
The Bible is God’s book, not man’s book.

My conscience is captive to the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Never mind the scribes — what saith the Scripture?
Martin Luther
You are so to deal with the Scriptures that you bear in mind that God
himself is saying this.
Martin Luther
I have made a covenant with God that he sends me neither visions,
dreams, nor even angels. I am well satisfied with the gift of the Holy
Scriptures, which give me abundant instruction and all that I need to
know both for this life and for that which is to come.
Martin Luther
