If Judas repented,surely god had forgiven him?

If you watch the passion of the christ,we see that judas was sorry for he had done,tried to give back the money he earned for handing jesus over,so he was sorry for his sin!

He hanged himself in the end,do you think he was allowed to enter heaven?as he was sorry?

First,
The Passion is my favorite movie, but it is a movie so be careful about making any “theological” conclusions from it. However, I believe, and this is based on the parables of Jesus, that if Judas repented - if anyone sincerely repents (Hitler included) God would forgive give them (excuse me for putting it this way) in a heart beat even if it was the person’s last. The operative word here however is “Sincerely”. Which is another reason we should thank God the He is God and not one of us (especially me).

The incident of Judas trying to return the money is found in Matthew 27:3-5.

God would surely have forgiven Judas, if he had asked, but I don’t think Judas ever asked God for forgiveness and, instead, added murder (suicide) to his crimes. In Matthew 26:24, Jesus says, “…woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

I guess it depends on what kind of repentance Judas had. If he repented out of a genuine sorrow for having betrayed Jesus regardless of the consequences, rather than out of a regret that things didn’t turn out the way he’d hoped they would, that would make a difference. The main problem is that instead of, like Peter, turning to Jesus for forgiveness, Judas didn’t look outside himself but rather gave into despair. If in his last moments he did truly repent and beg God for forgiveness, it’s possible that he was forgiven, but we don’t know for sure either way.
