Does God care more about what I believed, or how I actually treated people?

“What matters is who you were as a person; did you care for people? Did you try to make a difference in people's lives?”13:13

“And that's the way I feel. I I feel totally different. I, you know, I keep thinking, have I done enough? Was I kind enough to that person who is God? God is love. It meant nothing. It was two separate things to me because of the way it was presented, but now I know it's the same thing.”33:05

“people might not believe it and I guess that's their their problem, but they're going to have a life review whether they believe it or not. So, I think it's good to just be good to people. It's important not only because of the life review, but it's extremely important to our creator. I [music] believe that a million%. I just know that it really made me want to be a better person. I didn't feel judged by anybody. And I don't know if like, you know, Christians talk about the judgment and that kind of thing. And I don't know if,”10:53

“I wasn't judged for anything at all whatsoever. Everything was simply fully accepted, and just was. Although I also understood that the only thing that really matters in our lives is how kind we are to each other.”16:25

“things that were important, significant to God. Following um both of the life reviews, I kept waiting to be judged. I knew I was a sinner. Everything I grew up believing and was taught, you know, throughout my childhood, I knew I'd made so many mistakes and I knew I was imperfect. But the most amazing thing ended up happening. God didn't judge me. He loved me. And following all of those lessons that God shared with me, I was filled with the most unconditional love from him. And so at this time, I was sure that I”5:58

“I think that was sort of a life review for me and I like to think it's also because even though I didn't really believe in God, I believed in humanity, I believed in love, I believed in caring, and I had already devoted my life to try to make the world a better place.”19:08

“And you asked me earlier, if you love God, what do you do? It's all of the above. You pray; you read; you learn; you reach out to others; you take care of yourself. You do these things. Faith is not a vacuum; it's not just, 'Okay, I believe,' and that's it, like some say. Faith is a, it's a both-and. It's a believing and actions. And it says very clearly in the scriptures that we will be judged by our deeds. The books will be opened; we will be judged by our deeds. And it's very simple.”22:36

“the most important thing is not being right about your religion or your belief. It's being kind to others regardless of theirs. That's the most important thing I learned. We are judged, but we're not judged by, you know, some higher being who wants to punish us. We are forced to confront ourselves and to feel how we've made others feel. And I think it's really important to keep that in mind. We are here as a form of play, spiritual play. And by that I mean source, which I absolutely believe exists. We are”31:59

“I really did. But it's all revealed by how I treated my family, myself, strangers. I treated God, I treated His creation. And again, you know, how about some of you listening, you know, have you done the same thing?”18:35

“That's the second most important, or one of the most important things I learned: God does not judge us. I was there in the heart of God, which is what all of us are. I had returned to the heart of God, and I knew that I was not judged at all.”19:19

“And I mean, that's what every NDEer around the world testifies to who's had a life review in the presence of God. Everyone. God is love. And what He cares most about is how we treat one another. Isn't that the greatest commandment? It's what Jesus said sums up every commandment in the Bible.”40:52

“So making the right choices, I think. Jesus said all of this stuff when he was on Earth, and really all we need to do is look at what he said, and he reinforced it with me as well when I was with him. And the central thing to all of it is love. Love is the most important factor, and it was the most important thing I felt when I was there with him. And he basically, they were his main Commandments: Love, love your neighbor as yourself, and love God. As I said, they're the two great Commandments that Jesus gave. So I think if we make our decisions with love, based on decision-making processes, we're going to come close to doing the right thing.”17:58

“I learned what most NDErs learn: all that matters when we cross over is, did we love and how did we treat people? I try and read 1 Corinthians 13 as often as possible. Whether one claims to believe the Bible or not, this whole chapter is talking about a agape love, which is the god kind of love, the love that loves the unlovable or even those who we may think deserve no love. Only God can love through a person such as this chapter speaks about. When most have a NDE, they come back more loving.”10:27

“And without going through my whole life story, it was real simple, real simple. When I had been a loving, kind person, considerate of other people, it made the angels happy. It made Jesus happy, and they let me know that it made God happy.”18:55

“Because while my family talked about God and you could say it was a somewhat of a religious household, if you'd asked me, and I think a lot of people think about this, you say, 'Does God love you?' 'Of course, almost like a knee-jerk, of course, God loves me.' 'Does God care about you?' 'Of course, God cares about me.' 'Do you love God?' 'Oh yeah, yeah, I love God.' You know, we sell this stuff, you know, we spout out religious bumper stickers, I think, one because we haven't thought about it, and number two, because we're fearful of being judged if we said, 'Well, I'm not sure God loves me.'”17:52

“I think I was no different than than a lot of people that that are always criticizing themselves or feeling guilty about things. That's the way that I was raised. That's the religion that I was raised in, that, you know, uh, God was someone to be feared, and and that I would be judged. So I needed to walk that straight line. And it was it was so different than that. I was loved and unconditionally, and all I wanted to do was come back and do better and love people and and learn how to love and forgive and be a better person and have something better to offer.”31:10
