I'm really looking at this from the perspective of Christian Universalism:-
Ephesians 1:9-10 – “… making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.”
“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:3-4, NKJV).
There are other verses, but the meaning is clear. God's will will not be thwarted. This is what Thomas Talbott calls the "inescapable love of God"
Therefore our "fate" is to be part of this glorious future.
So yes, it's just a question of when we accept our fate!

@pipedreams I’m not a theist, but thanks for the reply!
@Bumbles No, I'm not either. But I'm interested in all forms of religious expression, and Universalism (in its Christian expression) is one of the better forms.
