Christianity is not about numbers. It is about a relationship with your creator, with your relationship with your fellow man coming in a distant second.

Love God, and
Love your neighbor as yourself.

Given that our neighbors are made in His image, I wouldn’t put the “love your neighbor” very far into the distance. Besides, the relationship with your fellow man is where the rubber hits the road. The hard part of maintaining your relationship with the Creator is playing nicely with His other children.

I agree Christianity is not about numbers, but it IS about your relationship with your fellow man, (1 John 4:20).

The modern world thinks this means being a patsy to those who are evil, not judging them, or maybe giving money to your favorite charity. But we are saved by grace: But if God has given us so much, we who are filled with his love spontaneously give it to others.
