evangelism!

So, at the risk of sounding a little LaFitte-ian:
Status quo:
the fact that there are religions other than Christianity in the world is one of the primary reasons that 'evangelism' exists today.
My response:
This is a little bit annoying. Why not have made just one religion, God? People could then either follow or not follow, so free-will would still exist, and the religious situation of the world would be so much less confusing/violent/befuddled?
and then it struck me:
perhaps the reason Christians are only a few, rather than everybody, is because then we
can be more like God -
It is at the the heart of the Godhead's nature to reach out to others: In relationship to other members of the trinity, and in revelation to Humans - most fully in the Incarnation of the Son. So, If the role of the Christian is to ultimately be transformed into the likeness of Christ, then we must be put in a place where we are able to reach out, to extend ourselves towards others. To seek 'the Lost'. So, awkward and annoying though evangelism is - it is a key part of our theosis, and is (maybe) why God has allowed for so many religions to exist in the world.
