Here's why:
John 4:22-24, Â Jesus said to the Samaritan woman at the well: 22Â YOU worship what YOU do not know; we worship what we know, because salvation originates with the Jews. 23Â Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to worship him. 24Â God is a Spirit, and those worshiping him must worship with spirit and truth.”
Matthew 7:13-14, Â “Go in through the narrow gate; because broad and spacious is the road leading off into destruction, and many are the ones going in through it; 14Â whereas narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it."
God does not look for quantity but rather look for honest hearted ones. The one that obediently observes his commandments and live a clean and honest life even in this trouble world.

He has all the power. He didn't need a big "crew".
Isa 36:20

Jer 2:28
28 Where then are the gods you made for yourselves?
Let them come if they can save you
when you are in trouble!
Judg 10:14
14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you when you are in trouble!"
(all above from New International Version)

Deut 7:7
"It is not because the you are the most numerous of peoples that the Lord set His heart on you and chose you - indeed, you are the smallest of peoples - but it was because the Lord favored you and kept the oath He made to your fathers."

Because a punk needs a crowd for back up and a solid man stands on his own.

First come, first serve. When picking up sides it pays to arrive first.
