If someone repents just before they die, will they still go to heaven?

It is true, but the focus needs to be on the word “repent”. Repenting means not only being sorry, but sincerely declaring that you will do all in your power to not commit that sin again. Repenting means that you will live your life differently from that point forward. It is not fun, in fact it is usually painful in that you are so sorry for the hurt that your action or inaction has caused.

Therefore, you cannot plan to repent. It goes against the meaning. And if you attempt it, you can’t fool yourself and you especially can’t fool God. You are either sorry or you are not. Maybe something will happen in your life to cause you to truly repent, but you cant count on it. Do not gamble with your salvation; examine your conscious in a real way today and truly repent now if need be. Your life will be better for it in this world and the next.
