Why Is It Important Not To Procrastinate Repentance?
It is important that we don't procrastinate repentance because this life is the time given to us to prepare for eternity. We are eternal beings--we will all live forever, either in misery or in happiness, according to whether our works have been good or evil. If we do not improve our time during this "mortal probation," then comes the night "wherein no labor may be performed."
And the same spirit that possesses us, whether the devil or God, will have power to possess us in the afterlife. If our works have been evil, our reward will be spiritual death and endless misery. If our works have been good, our reward will be eternal life and endless happiness.
We need to repent now to be eligible for God's mercy. Mercy is for the penitent. If we don't repent, we are exposed to the whole law of justice and it is as if there has been no redemption made.
