'Blameless' is a legal term meaning ... no charge can be successfully brought against you.
To be considered blameless before God, you must be unblemished by sin. Only those whose sin-laden life has been dealt a death blow will be judged favorably ...
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
If you purposefully (or even unwittingly) combine any self-reliance or human effort with your trust in Jesus Christ's finished work ... your 'religion' is in vain.
'Blamelessness' is unattainable outside total submission to the Lord's saving Grace. There is wonderful news for those who are hidden in Him - judgment will be one of rewards, not punishment.
When you arrive on heaven's shore, your past sins will not be on display for everyone to see ... There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
Remember, dear Christian ... you exchanged 'grave clothes' for a 'cloak of righteousness' when by faith you received Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Don't allow the 'accuser of the brethren' to persuade you otherwise.
