If I truly care about reaching the lost then I need to understand that sophisticated arguments won't convince them but a demonstration of love will.

And, not just any love but Jesus' love.

Our Lord says,

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” -John 13:34-35

And, in another place it is written,

"If we love one another, God abides in us […]"
"and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world." -1 John 4:12-14

The love of Jesus is:
Love that is willing to give everything,
Love that prioritizes others,
Love that humbles oneself,
Love that settles for nothing less than wholeness,
Love that wages war on anything that attempts to put itself between us and God and each other.

When we love like that, that's compelling evidence.

I labor to this end
