Why does one's life flash before one's eyes when experiencing a brush with death ? Is it not because after death, our life is then ready to be judged for what it was in it's entirety ?!

...As it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: <-----> Hebrews 9:27

One WAY in a split!;)

Every one's belief is sacred unto them self...which is why Scripture specifies that our faith need lead to true holiness.

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
<-----> Ephesians 4:21-24

There is both a bad and a good way to fear God.

The bad way -

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
<-----> Revelation 6:15+16

The good way -

Who has wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
They helped every one his neighbor; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
<-----> Isaiah 41:4-6

A penny, unlike a hundred dollar bill, has the words "In God we trust" on top of the front...on the hundred those words are on the back, and the works of man's hands spears up through their midst. (One can even observe the downward/backward slide which increases as the associated value goes up, for example: on a dime those words, though still on the front, are no longer on top.)

Hearken, my beloved brethren, Has not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he has promised to them that love him? <-----> James 2:5

The best inspirations/motivations come not from laying the wickedness of man to heart, but from steadfastly beholding the goodness/greatness of God.

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
<-----> Acts 7:54-60

God created both free will and predestination.

Free will so no one can rightly say, "He made me bad".

And predestination so no one can correctly say, "I made myself good".

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. <-----> 2nd Peter 3:9

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
<-----> Ephesians 1:3+4
