We cannot save ourselves. Only God has the power to save us.

About This Quote

The great German pastor Martin Luther said, “We cannot save ourselves. Only God has the power to save us.” This quote carries a great deal of weight in the Christian community. The belief is that the only one who can save us is God. God is our creator and we are his creation.

We can trust in him because he created us. We can rely on him to help us when we fall. Yet, when we depend on ourselves, when we try to make things happen, when our plans fail, it’s always up to us to get back up again.
