Why do people hope denying their need for God’s forgiveness will change the outcome for them on Judgment Day?

Your Father in Heaven is giving you time for repentance right now. He made the way for your sins to be forgiven. Confess your sins to God, truly sorry for offending His love for you, and ask His forgiveness. He will! Turn from your sins and turn *to* God, proving your repentance is real. Trust Jesus took the punishment on a cross your sins deserved. He delights in forgiving all who ask, as often as they ask, even empowering you with His Holy Spirit to do what He commands. Otherwise, if you lose eternal life, it will have been by your own choosing.
