God gives us guidelines, true enough, but by far the bulk of those guidelines deal with how we are to live with other people. Little or none of the Bible is about what we have to do to be acceptable to God. It is important that we recognise that God does not love us more, the more we put ourselves in God's service, for we can cultivate a relationship with God for a multiplicity of purposes. The reality is that humanity as we are, still loves acquisitively, so we can follow God to suit our own purposes, and generally these centre around getting our own way. And we hope to get our own way, so that others don't get theirs.
Idolatry is alive and well.
So we do God no favours by trying to get others committed to God. We do ourselves a favour by trying to get on with those around us. Indeed we do God a great disservice by ascribing to God human acquisitiveness, particularly in the light of the Cross and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We make our faith into just another club, desperately looking for new members. And God doesn't do things in this world, either now or in the time of Jesus, to get people to believe.
