My question to you is if a person who believes in God and truly has a deep relationship with him falls into sin very often, can they still go to heaven? I know I sin quite often and I ask God to forgive me every time I do it because I know it’s wrong and I feel guilty. But does God still forgive me every time I do it since I technically haven’t truly repented and if I were to die today would I go to heaven? Thank you very much for your videos they help out very much and God bless"
