"Many are invited, but only a few are chosen." (Matthew 22:14)

With more than 2.6 billion believers, Christianity is unarguably the worlds majority faith system.

For now.

However, what do the Scriptures say about majority or 'many' and minority or 'few'?

"They had disobeyed God while Noah was building the ark, but God had been patient with them. In the ark a 'few' people, only eight souls, were saved through water." (1 Peter 3:20)

"He rescued Lot, a man who had his approval, who was distressed by the immoral conduct of lawless people." (2 Peter 2:7)

"But 'many' of them did not please God. So they died, and their bodies were scattered all over the desert." (1 Corinthians 10:5)

"With these 300 men I will rescue you and give you victory over the Midianites. Send all the others (29,700) home." (Judges 7:7)

"But 7,000 Israelites have refused to worship Baal or kiss him, and they will live." (1 Kings 19:18)

"And Isaiah exclaims about Israel: 'Though the number of Israelites is like the sand of the sea, only a 'few' will be saved.'" (Romans 9:27)
