Peterson says, "maybe...if you live your life thoroughly...the only way to combat fear of death is to live fully"
Humanistic fluff.
In the video, Peterson merely gives a nod to Christianity and the Bible. He mentions Christ...but not as Savior and God. By listening carefully to what he says, I can tell that Peterson does not believe in what the Bible promises regarding the resurrection of humans from death.
This is Peterson's condition...
Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain. Moreover, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied. (1Cor.15:12-19)
This, then, is relief from the fear of death...
Now I say this, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I am telling you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable puts on the imperishable, and this mortal puts on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. (1Cor.15:50-57)
Is Esso going to hell lives up to "The Nine Noble Virtures of Astaru" but he doesn't accept Jesus Christ as his savior? Or are there multiple paths to God?

The Bible says that virtue will not save a man. And that God will allow Esso to go into eternity wherever he wants to go. If Esso does not want to be with God, there is nothing God can do to save Him. Esso's choice.
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
