Subject: Information on suicide? |
Bible Note: If an unsaved person commits suicide, they haven't done anything but “expedite” their trip to the lake of fire. But the person who committed suicide will ultimately be in hell for rejecting salvation through Christ, not because they committed suicide. 4 people committed suicide in the Bible: Saul (1 Samuel 31:4) Ahithophel (2 Samuel 17:23) Zimri (1 Kings 16:18) Judas (Matthew 27:5) Each of them were wicked men. God is the One who is to decide when and how a person should die, so to take that power into your own hands is blasphemy to God. Us Christians can know that we possess eternal life no matter what happens “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13). Whether a person commits suicide is not what determines whether he or she gains entrance into heaven.. but that is not to say suicide isn't a serious sin against God. |
