       I KNOW A LOTTA MODERN CHRISTIANS WON'T GET THIS - AT ALLbut I agree. Christianity is not really about either enticing Christ to save you, or insisting he save you, but about letting Christ incite you to help save everyone else... not that you will do the actual "Saving." You won't. And you certainly won't save everyone. Both things are beyond your power as a single, mortal man.But again, it was never about you... just that modern Christianity has misled you to think it is."Abba John the Dwarf said, 'A house is not built by beginning at the top and working down. You must begin with the foundations in order to reach the top.' They said to him, 'What does this saying mean?' He said, 'The foundation is our neighbour, whom we must win, and that is the place to begin. For all the commandments of Christ depend on this one.'"The Sayings of the Desert FathersAbba John the Dwarf (4th Century)
