Trust No One, Love Everyone — Luther on Genesis 12:11–13

Episode Description

In this episode, we hear Martin Luther on Genesis 12:11–13 from his lectures on Genesis. Luther explores the tension between loving others without suspicion and yet trusting God alone. He teaches that while Scripture forbids us from being cynical or malicious toward our neighbor, it also warns us not to place our ultimate confidence in any human being—because every man is a liar, but God is true.

Luther applies this especially to marriage, where sinful people are joined by holy promises and must learn to live not by illusion, but by grace, patience, and daily forgiveness.

This reading calls us to love fully, forgive freely, and trust God alone.
