Besides, not only righteousness but perfection is required of us: "Be you therefore perfect, as also your heavenly Father is perfect" (Matthew 5:48) And if you're not perfect, you don't get into heaven.
So it's too late for everyone already.

And if you're not perfect, you don't get into heaven. So it's too late for everyone already. We were little sinners while we still in diapers! Anyone who has survived their child's terrible twos, knows that sin doesn't have to be taught - it's innate. We aren't sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Rom. 6:23)
