T o lead people to Christ is the highest goal of every born again believer. Our lord commissions us to go and make disciples of humanity. To lead people to Christ you must first be among the people. You cannot condemn, and withdrew yourself from sinners and expect to get them save. A self-righteous Christian’s life only drive people away from the gospel, you must be able to laugh with them, talk with them and sometime play game of some kind with them. Fools cannot win souls. Do not bother sinners about their smoking, about their fornications, about their drinking and about their sins and in general. Do not condemn their religions, nor find faults with it. It is an insult and will only bring about separations. Do not set out to drag somebody from their religions, if they ask you them tell them.

Amen.
Do not only preach to people but also invite them to come to Christ.

ONE SINNER CAN CAUSE A LOT OF TROUBLE.
Eccles. 9:18 (KJV) Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
ANGELS REJOICE OVER ONE REPENTED SINNER.

Luke 15:10 (KJV) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
TELL THEM.
Jesus is the answer to their inner tumult. Jesus is the only one that can give them that inner peace that they been searching for in all the wrong places. Their problem is not the other person; the problem is that they have no peace on the inside.
ASK THEM.
Ask people “would you give yourself to Christ? Would you do it today? Accept him as your savior today.
