Whatever it is (if anything) that awaits us, we'll find out then and not a moment sooner. Whether it's oblivion (in which case we won't find out), eternal reward or eternal punishment will not affect how I live my life now. I'll just do the best I can and trust in God's mercy. If however, as sometimes seems to be suggested, God has set up some elaborate quiz show in which we must know and accept all the correct answers in order to win eternal life, then I wouldn't care to spend eternity with him anyway. ---Ford |
