Martin Luther on Baptism

Posted on by

After posting John Stott’s quote on baptism, I decided to see what Martin Luther had to say!

“For that purpose Christ instituted holy baptism, thereby to clothe you with his righteousness. It is tantamount to his saying, My righteousness shall be your righteousness; my innocence, your innocence. Your sins indeed are great, but by baptism I bestow on you my righteousness; I strip death from you and clothe you with my life.”
