“For God has put everything under His feet. But when it says “everything” is put under Him, it is obvious that He who puts everything under Him is the exception.” 1 Corinthians 15:27 HCSB
“You made him lord over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet:”
Psalms 8:6 HCSB

When everything is under Jesus’ feet He will be Lord over everything, but God will still be his father and He will still submit to Him! This is the time when every knee will bow to Him.
But until then everyone will have a choice. We can reject Jesus as our Lord, or we can submit to the Lordship of Jesus. What is the Lordship of Jesus? It is obeying what He tells us to do through the word of God and through the Holy Spirit.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord! ’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father in heaven. On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, drive out demons in Your name, and do many miracles in Your name? ’ Then I will announce to them, ‘I never knew you! Depart from Me, you lawbreakers!’”
Matthew 7:21-23 HCSB

“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit — the Father will send Him in My name — will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.”
John 14:26 HCSB

It will boil down to did we love God through our actions? Actions equals love and love equals actions.
“Jesus answered, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. The one who doesn’t love Me will not keep My words. The word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.”
John 14:23-24 HCSB

Will you submit to the Lordship of Jesus now while there is still time on the earth, or will you try to submit to Jesus when it is too late? We have the chance now to find and experience Jesus as Lord. His burden is light and easy, but the guilt of sin is heavy and burdensome. But God is able to take away that guilt and replace it with joy and love.
“Come to Me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. All of you, take up My yoke and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for yourselves. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 HCSB

“In the same way, when you have done all that you were commanded, you should say, ‘We are good-for-nothing slaves; we’ve only done our duty.’ ””
Luke 17:10 HCSB

“Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.”
Romans 12:1-2 HCSB
https://www.bible.com/72/rom.12.1-2.hcsb
Our job here on earth is to be the people who God is calling us to be. To be living sacrifices for Him. Obeying Him in every area of our lives. Will we be submissive to Him now when we have a choice of will we try to butter Him up with empty actions latter?
