2 questions to be asked by God

Thinking about life after death, standing in front of God, and the audit he will do of my years on earth (Romans 14:10b, 12)... I get nervous and I feel ashamed at the idea yet I am always aware that this time will eventually come.
According to the Bible we can surmise that God will ask us 2 crucial questions:
1.)"What did you do with my Son, Jesus Christ?"
God will not question our doctrinal views or religious backgrounds ect. The sole question here being, did you accept what Jesus did for you and did you learn to love and trust him?
2.) "What did you do with what I gave you?"
Each person born was given life through God and finds his purpose through God. We are all alive because God wanted to create us. We were created to be the focus of his love because he is a God of love. The earth was created as it was because God wanted a place for his creations to live. As we all know, God created each person unique from any other (different talents, relationships, features, opportunities, ect.) As we look to God for our purpose, we begin to understand why we are who we are and for what reasons. So will we take what the God of love has given us, and use it for his purpose?
The first question will determine where you will spend eternity.
The second question will determine what you do in eternity.
These post we influenced by portions of Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life.
