We should strive to be worthy of His great gift, though we never can be. And we should do it out of love for Him.
Everyone has differing feelings of guilt or unworthiness as they navigate their lives.
Does Knowing right from wrong, or the lack of knowing, make a difference in God’s eyes?
This then gets really personal.
Willful disregard and ignorance.
I would think so. Consider a child repeats some profanity, though has no knowledge of its meaning. That child is treated differently than a teenager doing the same thing.
A person who suffers some mental deficiency or debilitating mental illness lacks the knowledge and capacity to know right and wrong. How would a loving God treat person?
In both cases, I believe God’s endless mercy judges them innocent.
However, when there are violations of natural law, most people know what is right and wrong. Most people know without being told that hurting a child, murder, and theft are wrong in and of themselves. And in my opinion, will be judged accordingly.
A person who willfully disregards God’s law is 100% liable for their actions. Invincible ignorance, as opposed to being too lazy to educate oneself, takes on no liability.
