The Devil has no special requirements. He welcomes the procrastinators as happily as the false wittnesses, the white collar criminals, and the murderers. He seeks that ALL men might be miserable, like himself.
Our Heavenly Father asks us to love one another, forgive one another, repent of our sins and mistakes, and become the people He knows we can become.
He sent His Only Begotton in the flesh to teach us how to live, and to accomplish the Atonement and Resurrection, so that all will live again (like it or not), and may (but are not forced to) repent through the merits of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Through the power of repentance, we become clean and make changes and course corrections. We find greater happiness as we work to live God's commandments more fully.
Why does He care? Because we (our spirits) are His own children, and He loves us and wants us to return to live with Him again in love, peace, joy and glory. He wants us to be comfortable in His presence, by being accustomed to living in the manner He lives. God's commandments teach us how He lives.
