You cannot undo in death, that which was done in life! Luke 12:20, 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

You cannot undo in death, that which was done in life!

Luke 12:19-21
And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’
20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’
21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

2 Corinthians 6:1-2:
1 Working together with him, then, we appeal to you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says,
“In a favorable time I listened to you,
and in a day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation

There is no time like the time of "now!"
.You can never rewrite what you have done in life, when you are dead! There is no delete button or redo worksheet that you can redo, there is no do over and try again in death! You take what you have done in life and bring it with you in death, in all your imperfections and sinful living. Behold, it is required of every one to get it right now! It is required of everyone to say, " Oh, now I understand, LORD, now I will repent!" For what will you do in death, when you finally get it and finally understand! Indeed, it will be too late to repent then, and there won't be anymore opportunity to get it right in death, of that which you should have gotten right in life right "Now"! Oh, the torment and great misery in eternal death and torment, when, for all eternity, you will be saying, "if, I only..., if, I... but, just listened to the wisdom of God's word through the counsel and conviction of the Holy Spirit, through the Church, the bride of Christ, ...if, I ...just, but,...listened and repented!..." But it will be too late for you then, for what you understand now, in death, you should have understood in life! Yet, while you were living you were saying to yourself and to others, "I have all the time in the world to repent, I have plenty of time to turn to the Lord, I will live for today and enjoy my life right now and repent later,...so take it easy, eat, drink and be merry! Don't worry about it, you can always turn to God, you have plenty of time before you die!" Yet, you do not know, if, Almighty God, our Sovereign and eternal God, has appointed, for your very life , in His providence, for you to be struck by the Angel of death this very second of your short existence on earth; this very moment, you can be struck dead, and then, it will be too late to repent! Oh, the misery! And agony of regret, for all eternity! For you will discover, in death, no more second chances of redo, when you finally get it....but, then, it will be too late! For you can never rewrite your life, in death, of that which you should have rewritten in life, right Now! By repentance and believing on Jesus "Now!" And living for Him "Now!" You can never undo in death, that which you've done in life!...It will be just too late for all eternity!...
