Without a doubt: love.
Jesus's whole life made this point: if you love people, that is the BEST way to "preach": by example.
Some people never seem to learn that dissing other people's beliefs and trying to strong-arm preach them into the Kingdom of Heaven never works.
We have to love God, love other people, and love ourselves. That is Jesus's Great Commission to us.

preach the kingdom of God (Matthew 24:14) explain to people what will be the condition of the earth during the 1000 years kingdom of God and his annoited king Jesus will do.
What Is God’s Kingdom?
WHAT a terrible disaster struck mankind early in human history! An angel rebelled against the authority of the very One who had created him. This rebel enticed the first woman, Eve, to eat the forbidden fruit. Referring to her and her husband, Adam, the angel said: “You positively will not die. For God knows that in the very day of your eating from it your eyes are bound to be opened and you are bound to be like God, knowing good and bad.” (Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:1-5) The rebellious angel came to be called Devil and Satan.—Revelation 12:9.

The great commission:
Jesus just had one commission. Preaching and loving were both in that commission. They are equal. Read below:
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you (love God and love others). And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
—Matthew 28:18-20

Jesus is only and idea. The man may have lived and may done many of the thing talked about in the bible; however the bible was put to gather by so many that Jesus is on the idea of the book. The act are not all there to support what they call truth.

By teaching the Good News of Christ's sacrifice for us, we do both. We gain new believers who should conform to the 2 Great Commandments, love God and people, and we gain sheep for the Good Shepherd's flock.

Love all people.
If you love all people, you will be preaching the Gospel and you will convert people because they, likewise will begin loving others.

Jesus said it best. To love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength and to love your neighbor as yourself. On these hinge all the law and prophets

First, it is to love God with all your heart mind and soul.
Second it is to love thy neighbor as you love yourself.
Third it is to preach, teach and baptize.
All of these are commands.

Love all people. There is truth in the cliche that they don't care what you know until they know that you care.
If your life evidences peace, love, and joy--that's what will make people interested in what you believe.

To love us unconditionally and to teach us to follow God's lead.
