Now or Then?

Romans 14:11 says, "For it is written, "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
God has given us sufficient evidence to know that He exists. God has given us his specific commands so that we know how to live, how to act, how to treat others. Yet so many in our society refuse to even acknowledge God. Others who claim to believe in God refuse to submit themselves before Him and obey Him. There will come a day in which EVERY knee will bow and every tongue will confess. Truth will be undeniable and unavoidable. There will be no discussion, arguments, or fighting. There will simply be unavoidable truth.
So we have a choice. We can "bow" to Christ now by our own choice, or we will bow to Him in judgment. If we choose to now, we will stand before Him forgiven. If we wait until judgement, we will stand before Him unrighteous.
