In connection with serving God, the Bible does speak of obligation, commandments, requirements, and so forth. Yet, our prime motive for serving God is that we love him. ​ — Exodus 35: 21; Deuteronomy 11: 1.
On tõsi, et seoses Jumala teenimisega räägib Piibel kohusest, käskudest, seadustest ja muust sarnasest, kuid eeskätt ajendab meid Jumalat teenima armastus tema vastu.
