Belief Quote by Aiden Wilson Tozer

“Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.” quote by Aiden Wilson Tozer
