Be an open Bible

Not everyone will start by picking up a book, going to a talk, or visiting a church. Sometimes the first page of Christianity someone reads is the patience, joy, or consistency of a concrete person. That does not mean faking perfection. It means letting something of Christ show in your gestures: in how you ask for forgiveness, how you serve, how you speak, and how you treat the weak. Your life does not replace the Gospel, but it can make it feel closer. It can also make it less credible if you live in constant contradiction.
