Why does it matter?
Q: Why do Christians tell people about Jesus, why does what they have to say to me, matter?
A: Typically this is brought up by people who try to get a Christian to stop talking about Jesus, truth and the Bible (The Word of God).
You wouldnt do that with a blind man walking towards a cliff edge. You wouldnt do that if a house was on fire. You wouldnt tell everyone to "keep enjoying the trip" while the titanic is sinking.
No. You would go warn them and try to rescue them. They do not understand how theyre in imminent danger.
We warn about Judgment and Hell and tell people to flee to the life-raft (Jesus).
People do not know theyre headed towards Hell, that theyre enemies of God, that theyve believed lies of false gods and worldviews. Until someone reaches out to them theyre unaware of the serious danger... and since 150,000 people die every day (in unexpected various ways), we are told by God to "Go and preach the gospel" "call all men to repent and believe in Jesus". Because "Today is the day of salvation", and "after death is only Judgement".
When people hear the true Gospel and understand it, theyll see their disease and the cure. They do not see their need for Jesus and find it offensive until it is explained and they grasp the seriousness of it.
Jesus said he came for sinners not the self-righteous. Only those truly see their sin will seek the offer the Savior has.

James 2:19
Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Satan and his demon army believe, and they believe in the true God, not a false man made idol. The difference is they just dont follow Jesus or submit to God. Same with non Christians. If one isnt born again, theyre in terrible danger for eternity. Choose freedom and eternal life in Christ. Today
[Through] the gospel, God stopped the lion’s mouth and opened the Red Sea. Through the cross, death lost its power to devour, and the path of everlasting life opened up through the resurrection.
Now we [believers] say with the Apostle Paul,
“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”
(2 Corinthians 9:15). - Ray Comfort
