I wrestled with this alot between school shootings and a friend being killed, knowing they did not all have faith. When held accountable before the Lord, He doesn't look at the list of good things, He demands payment for your sinfulness (which we all have). Nothing but belief in Jesus and his blood will cover it.
It sucks, but not all of them are in heaven. That is a hard pill to swallow . To act like they are cheapens God and his justice system. It warps our understanding of heaven and eternity . To act like they are in heaven numbs me to the reality that anyone I have a relationship needs the to know the truth about their sinfulness and need for Jesus.
I will be accountable one day for the time I was blessed to spend with them and how I used it. Was it pointing them to truth and eternity at some point? Or was it spent in a comfort zone of meaningless things in the realm of eternity? They will be accountable before God for their heart.
But just because someone dies, does not mean they go to heaven, and that is rough.
