The scripture reveals the major reason why Jesus came to the earth. Jesus never came to judge, but he came to save and to make us his children (John 3:16).
Jesus in a parable talked about the missing sheep, he noted that the shepherd went out in search of the missing sheep even though he had 99 left. The joy of the shepherd had no limit when he found the lost sheep.
In the same manner, God is interested that one soul that is yet to embrace Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and saviour.

The believer in Christ must propagate the gospel of salvation. No one has the power to convert a sinner but, every Christian has the mandate to preach the gospel even to the uttermost part of the world. Jesus said in John 12:32, "If I am lifted up above the earth, I will make everyone want to come to me." (NIV)
There are people in the church who are not born again.
Most people don't understand what it means to be a Christian, some people think that once they have Christian names, they are children of God. In the book of Acts 16:31, the bible says, "belief in the lord and you shall be saved." This implies that believing in the only begotten son of God is a necessity.
God is concerned about our inner man, and not necessarily our physical appearance. And expects us to study the scriptures and so begin to live like Christ.

The human soul can never cease to exist, it lives till eternity, whether unto life eternal or condemnation.
Man's priority is to ensure that his soul is right with God. In the book of Malachi, the bible tells us that God is keeping records of everything going on in the world.
God will never ask what you achieved on earth because, in the afterlife, there's nothing like big or small, rich or poor.
You don't need to force anyone to repent, all you have to do is just show the life of Jesus to such a person and leave the rest to God. God will do the transformation of lives.

Listening to the word of God brings eternal life to us. When witches and wizards hear the word of God, they must obey. It is only the word of God that can soften the heart of evil people. When you talk to people about God, you form a defence for yourself, that is why the bible says he that wins a soul is wise.
