To see the world’s rebels turned into friends of God is, after all, a God-centered goal. It looks beyond benefit to men. For in coming to Christ their hearts will be changed. They will be made new men throughout. As friends they will do what they would not do as foes. They will lay down their arms and raise their songs of praise: they will worship their Creator. They will adore Him whom they once despised. They will praise the Lord!

Tom Wells (1933–2019) war ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Evangelist und Buchautor der reformierten Baptisten, der fast drei Jahrzehnte lang eine Gemeinde in Ohio leitete. Bekanntheit erlangte er durch seine theozentrische Missionslehre sowie als einflussreicher Mitgestalter der sogenannten Neubund-Theologie. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet sein Werk in Form seelsorgerlicher und bibelzentrierter Auslegungen über Gottes Wesen, Gnade und das geistliche Leben.

We Christians are the light of the world. Maybe only 40 watts. But 40 watts light up the room.

Just as a candle is lit from the flame of another, so faith is kindled by faith.
