Bible Answer: Dear Goldenchild: Those of us who believe in the doctrine of the eternal security of the believer (also called the perseverance of the saints) believe that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ and His salvation that he gave us by grace through faith. (Rom. 8:28-39) A saved person is sealed by the Spirit until the day of redemption (Eph. 4:30) Thus viewed, the issue of whether the believer who takes his own life was sane or insane at the time the act was committed becomes moot in regard to his salvation. Of course, one who does not know Christ is doomed whether he takes his own life or dies of other causes. --Hank |
