Surely it can't make that much difference to him? Anyway, I'm not trying to attack, I am genuinely curious as to what the reason is.
God doesn't need anything; if anything WE need God, or at least a realization of who He really is. An intellectual understanding, or belief in God is not nescessary to enter heaven, but it is helpful. Heaven is within you, all one must do is "realize" this truth. So many people wait, and do nothing worthy on this earth because they think that heaven is somewhere "out there".

It is here, on earth, and within each of us. The trouble with this truth is that VERY few realize it, and focus only of suffering. There is purpose in suffering; it builds character, and is indeed beneficial for us, but it is not the essence of life.

Love is the stuff life is made of - w/o Love there is no life in us. Christ is Love - Love is Spirit - Spirit is God.

God consists of more than spirit, but Spirit is God's essence. God is all things. [Mind - Spirit - Matter] We are all part of God, and we will always be part of God. Even after our bodies decay, we still reside in God as dirt - ash -nutrients for palnts, animals, etc. Life is eternal - Death is an illusion.
