- Question, if a Christian commits suicide, is he or she still saved? In this video I'll answer that question from a biblical perspective, and afterwards
- 00:07
- I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around to the end. It is a sad fact that some
- 00:19
- Christians have committed suicide. Adding to the tragedy is the false teaching that committing suicide automatically consigns one to hell.
- 00:27
- Many believe that a Christian who commits suicide will not be saved. This teaching is not supported in the
- 00:32
- Bible. Scripture teaches that, from the moment we believe in Christ, we are guaranteed eternal life.
- 00:39
- According to the Bible, Christians can know, beyond any doubt, that they possess eternal life. Nothing can separate a
- 00:45
- Christian from God's love. No created thing can separate a Christian from God's love. And even a
- 00:51
- Christian who commits suicide is a created thing. Therefore, not even suicide can separate a
- 00:56
- Christian from God's love. If Jesus died for all of our sins, and if a true Christian, in a time of spiritual attack and weakness, commits suicide, his sin is still covered by the blood of Christ.
- 01:08
- According to the Bible, suicide is not what determines whether a person gains entrance into heaven. If an unsaved person commits suicide, he has done nothing but expedite his journey to hell.
- 01:18
- However, that person who committed suicide will ultimately be in hell for rejecting salvation through Christ, not because he committed suicide.
- 01:25
- We should also point out, however, that no one truly knows what was happening in a person's heart the moment he or she died.
- 01:31
- Some people have deathbed conversions and accept Christ in the moments before death. It is possible that a person who commits suicide could have a last -second change of heart and cry out for God's mercy.
- 01:42
- We leave such judgments to God. The suicide of a believer is evidence that anyone can struggle with despair and that our enemy,
- 01:49
- Satan, is a murderer from the beginning. John 8, 44 Suicide is still a serious sin against God.
- 01:55
- According to the Bible, suicide is murder. It is always wrong. Christians are called to live their lives for God, and the decision of when to die is
- 02:03
- God's and God's alone. May God grant grace and the psalmist's perspective to each one who is facing trials today.
