1 | Is repentance required? | Ex 20:13 | charis | 442 | ||
Amigo, If you consider repentance to be a single event, then admitting your sinful nature produces salvation from hell when accompanied by confessing Christ Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection. However, repentance means to 'turn away' from sin. Certainly we must admit sin in order to begin repentance, but we must also change our hearts and our actions. The Holy Spirit will guide you to this end. I seems that God is pleased if we continue to fight against sin, repenting and changing. We cannot 'purchase' our salvation in this manner, but certainly our Father will be proud of us if we stop sinning. Returning to the original question about suicide, I believe it is possible for 'self-murder' to be forgiven. However, the final say is in God's hands, we can only trust in His mercy. Please remember that this does not make suicide an option. God is not 'required' to do anything, certainly not behave according to our interpretation of Scripture. |

2 | Is repentance required? | Ex 20:13 | Ron L | 9294 | ||
I think all of us would like definite answers on things like suicide.Most of us are concerned because we know someone who has passed away that way. We can only point back to the cross. We turn back to the cross in these times because this same Jesus who died and rose for us has promised to never leave us or forsake us.This is our comfort and hope. | ||||||
