until you come to that place where you see the whole world as lost, the cross of christ will be always seem a little pointless to you.
until you come to understand that without hearing and answering the call you heard of that cross to Repent and believe, you were damned and lost forever, you can never really be used to spread the Word.
But, once you see the world sinking into Hell around you, then and only then do you understand the need for all to become Christian.
and, once you see how you were once lost but are not found, you can feel the burning need to reach out and help others still stuck in the mud of sin

sounds a bit like ADHD. "My way is the only way and if your not doing it my way, there's something wrong with you and I am not open to other methods even if they do work for you, they are still wrong because its not my way." So there.

(John 14:6) 6Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Cor 1:18

among other places there's:
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him. John 3:36

Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. 2 Cor 5:11

I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation. 2 Cor 6:2

Christ's call to repentance is easily mined out of any gospel one might chose to read but can probably best be summed up by:
The message of the cross is foolish to the carnal mind .Hang on you are telling me not only does God love me but as taken away my sin by dying for me on a cross even when i was at my worst.,and tells me he as reconciled myself back to Him .That is definetly foolish to the carnal mind.
Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. 2 Cor 5:11 . This is not the gospel to the lost.
Of cause now is the day , but how does that have anything to do with my original post.
Of cause he calls us to repentence , but that is just simply turning to Him and trusting Him with your life for your own good .What does that have to do with the way you see a person. He is the Author and finisher of our faith .

It's God's Word, not mine.
