I have covenanted with my Lord that He should not send visions, or dreams or even angels! I am content with this gift of the Scriptures, which teaches and supplies all that is necessary both for this life and that which is to come.

Martin Luther
About This Quote

I have covenanted with my Lord that He should not send visions, or dreams or even angels! Here the author is referring to the Biblical concept of both the Old and New Testaments. The Scriptures are what they are. They are made up of words written by the people who lived in the time of Jesus. They are God’s Word; it is not some higher revelation that He is giving us today. We can also see that this author believes that God can speak to us through His Word without Him ever having to resort to visions, dreams, or angels.
