Jesus Christ said in Revelation 3:10-13
“Because you have obeyed my command to persevere, I will protect you from the great time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown. All who are victorious will become pillars in the Temple of my God, and they will never have to leave it. And I will write on them the name of my God, and they will be citizens in the city of my God—the new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven from my God. And I will also write on them my new name. Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”
- Testing tells of possibility to either pass or fail. So a broad answer this question is yes; it may be “possible,” but hold on… it is also written:
Revelation 9:20-21
“BUT THE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT DIE IN THESE PLAGUES STILL REFUSED TO REPENT OF THEIR EVIL DEEDS AND TURN TO GOD. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.”
When someone already knows they need to repent NOW, but are willingly “postponing it” to the very last moment:
Why do they postpone? A: They don’t want to part with their sins.
Why? A: They are enjoying them.
Whoever hates the wrongdoing would repent without delay – in order to do what pleases God. People who have faith live to please God, not themselves.
But when people are not interested in doing what is right when things are still easy, how much less will they be interested in righteous living when the world starts to collapse and their survival instinct kicks in? They still live in the flesh, so they’ll do anything to preserve it. IT’S FAITHLESS.
Can you repent of sins you don’t want to repent from? No. REPENTANCE REQUIRES REMORSE; A DEEP REGRET. So you may fold your hands and say “I’m sorry I’ll never do it again” and it will be a lie when in your heart you’re already planning on committing it again.
- And what makes you think you’ll live until the rapture? When you die, your opportunity to repent and be forgiven will die with you.
James 4:13-17
Warning about Self-Confidence
“Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. What you ought to say is, “IF THE LORD WANTS US TO, WE WILL LIVE AND DO THIS OR THAT.” Otherwise you are boasting about your own pretentious plans, and all such boasting is evil. REMEMBER, IT IS SIN TO KNOW WHAT YOU OUGHT TO DO AND THEN NOT DO IT.”
Hebrews 6:26-27 “Dear friends, if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. There is only the terrible expectation of God’s judgment and the raging fire that will consume his enemies.”
To clarify my answer: it may not be possible to everyone, but only to those who, until that time, remain ignorant (without this knowledge of truth). Make sure to not deceive yourself into selective amnesia. God won’t be mocked.
I urge everyone to understand that you are already being tested, every single day.
