The actions of your flesh are never remembered by God at all and the only life that is recognized by God is the New life that he gave you at your new birth. That life is produced by His seed and makes you Holy and unblamable.
Weather or not you can accept these next statements is strictly up to you but they are my personal opinion. It is sometimes quite necessary to go through hard times make bad judgments and have bad conduct. If God protected you from all of those things you would never learn things like compassion, humility, good judgment and the like. We would not learn obedience sense we learn obedience through the things that we suffer. How can you have empathy and give good instruction to a brother if you had not once traveled the same road. How do you gain wisdom if you were never knocked to you knees and had to cry for help to the Father. How would you learn trust if you never had to trust.
Life is too precious a gift for it to be left in the hand of mortal man. God takes a lot of interest in the lives of His children.
