Martin Luther on Temptation and the Word - Lutheran (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Source: Martin Luther52 words

"When the devil tempts, I flee to Christ. The way of escape is often the Word itself—Scripture spoken against temptation. 'It is written!' God is faithful; He has given us the armor of His Word. Temptation drives us to Christ, and there we find escape." — Martin Luther. Lutheran: Word as escape.
