Subject: Will suicide condem my soul to hell? |
Bible Note: Dear George, I think you are overlooking the fact that many, if not all, christians die having failed to confess each and every sin. Thank God that we will not be judged according to our sins, but, by our relationship to Christ. Does this offer the person considering suicide a way out? I don't think so, for the Bible says that the one who perserveres to the end will be saved. It also calls upon everyone who names Christ as their Lord to work out their salvation with fear and trembling...to examine themselves to make sure that they are truly His and not mere professors (non-believers who claim to be believers). I do not say it is impossible, but, it seems to me, highly un-unlikely that a believer would choose to take his own life. What is impossible is that a christian could forfeit salvation. Salvation is a gift which, when given, is irrevocable. Rom 11:29 for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable John |
