Bible Quote by Peter Haas
““The Bible isn’t a list of requirements; rather, it’s a list of results after experiencing God’s love. Following God isn’t an action but a reaction. And if you have to painstakingly motivate yourself or others to serve God “because it’s the right thing to do,” you’ve already missed the very foundations of biblical Christianity.””
