Scrogge begins the story as a bitter, miserly misanthrope. Dickens uses the three ghosts to illustrate to him the errors of his way and "the final consequences of his actions. His solitary life and disdain for those in need will ultimately lead others to find comfort and happiness from his death. No one will mourn his passing and his money and possessions will be stolen by the desperate and corrupt, the very people he condemned in life. His final legacy will be that of a cheap tombstone in an unkept graveyard. Scrooge then weeps over his own grave, begging the ghost for a chance to change his ways before awakening to find it is Christmas morning. He has been given an opportunity to repent after all. Scrooge does so and becomes a model of generosity and kindness." Source: Wikipedia/Charles Dickens/A Christmas Carol
When scrooge saw the ghost of Christmas future he saw that he was going to die and then if he changed his ways he could live on and so he wanted to change.
