However the question really before us is not to be or not to be, but HOW to be.
Even if I were to be forgiven (and actually I believe that would happen, having already been saved) I would not want my first really serious introduction to God to have been preceded by my stiffly slapping Him in the face!
Okay, but you do realize you have to be in order to chose how to be. Right? LOL
I agree with your premise regarding making the right choices, in preparation for our final judgment.
Best of luck to both of us in that.
