How will God determine everyone's fate in eternity? Is He like Santa Claus, with a list of who has been naughty and nice?

Jesus said that when we are on the way to appear before the magistrate, make an effort to settle (Luke 12:58). We have nothing to negotiate with, but Jesus Himself is our Advocate, and if we surrender to Him, He promises that we will not come into judgment but have already "passed out of death into life" (John 5:24).
