![“To believe is not intellectual assent: "Yes, I believe in Jesus. I will sign my name to the Nicene Creed. I believe it all" - which you could do, [but] it would have no effect on who you were or what you did. It is, rather, to give your heart.” quote by Frederick Buechner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/9d5/frederick-buechner-883_believe_to-believe-is-not-intellectual-assent-ye_635623.jpg)
