That’s a good approach to life and decisions. I’m hoping the gates will just swing wide open when I arrive, as I’d rather not have to explain anything in front of God when my time comes. But I’m an imperfect person and I imagine there will be questions. I hope they will be few and minor.

I can’t get past Jesus on the cross saying, about the soldiers who nailed him to the cross, “Forgive them. They know not what they do.” That statement suggests that there may be room for forgiveness and/or redemption for evil acts if a person is ignorant that they were doing evil/harm. I’m not a biblical scholar though. It’s really best that, like you, Uber-Eng, I try to live as blameless a life as I can.

A Christian can rest in the finished work of Christ. He is our hope (not like worldly hope, but certainty) and salvation.
