If we fail to do his commandments that we might have right to the tree of life, and to enter into the heavenly city through the gates....? (Revelation 22:14)

If we fail to do these things, then we'll be deliberately setting ourselves on the course and path of apostasy.

If in this life only, we have hope in Christ, then we are of all men most to be pitied, having fallen away from our first love and affection of eager expectation of his appearing.(1 Corinthians 15:19)

If we cast away the hope of the morning star, we become wandering stars(shooting stars destined to fall), to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever, having wandered off the course of the heavenly calling and destiny in Christ. (Jude vs 13)

If we cast away the anchor of our soul, which is the hope of his coming and the salvation ready to be revealed in the last time, we make a shipwreck of faith and drown in perdition.

Every drawing back from the hope of the coming one leads to perdition - Hebrews 10:37-39 

"For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."

Finally, if his promise to go and prepare a place for us in his Father's house in heaven and to return to take us to where he is, no longer means anything to us, then our profession of Jesus being the way, the truth and the life, is empty. 

John14:1-6 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

2 Peter 3:3-4 "Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
