People will wait until midnight on April 15th to mail their taxes, but if something prevents them from getting to the post office, their taxes are overdue. In the same respect, "what if" you live a wicked life, planning to ask forgiveness at the last moment, something could happen to prevent you from doing so. Then there is always the possibility that by the time you get there you don't care any more, or that your heart no longer leans toward God. He judges by that heart. If we use the wait till we get there plan, He already knows our heart. Is giving up the sinful pleasures of this life such a high price to pay for an eternity with God?
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 7:21 KJV)
