>needing consequences (going to hell) to do right the right thing is the test.
you dont go to hell for doing the wrong thing, you go to hell for rejecting Jesus.
the people during noahs time didn't get destroyed by the flood for being evil (they were evil), they were destroyed for not entering the ark.
noah preached to the people for a long time, as he built the ark, yet they never believed him, neither building their own ark, nor helping noah build his.
you reject Jesus, you end up lock out of the ark, sitting on rising water (or a lake of fire), you damn yourself.
doing good works is part of the evidence that you have believed and have entered the ark.
