Are you ever looking for short, readable works that can clearly, articulately, and carefully explain the gospel message to those uninitiated to biblical language? Quite frankly, I know of no better resource for this than Tom Wells’ little book, Come to Me! — which is now available for as little as a penny on Amazon.com!!!
I was reminded of Wells’ work for several reasons: First, I just received a few copies in the mail (and that always helps); Second, I just heard of someone I know professing faith in Christ (which is great); Third, I read Mark Dever’s sober-minded post on whether evangelists should ever question professions of faith. Here’s an excerpt of Dever’s counsel of how we should respond to new professions of faith:
What should we do? Encourage the new believer in all things good. Remind them of the gospel. After some appropriate time (which would vary much from case to case) they should be baptized and join a church. They should regularly hear the preaching of the Word, commune, fellowship, pray and obey the Word. They should be building relationships in order to do that. And they should be told to hope in Christ alone for their salvation. Our desire is to find every professor getting safely home to heaven.
