God is not a means to an end, but the beginning and the end.
As important as it is to be good to people, and it is, you can’t make God a mere means to the end of making people be good to each other.
Christ did not come to Earth to make people into humanitarians but to save us from sin, unite mankind with God, grant us eternal life.
Love God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul – this is first, love your neighbour as yourself – still commanded, still vital, is second.
