Can A Christian Who Commits Suicide Go To Heaven?
I guess he/she might be in danger of hell. But all i know is that we can't lose our salvation bcos we are saved by grace thru faith which is not of ourselves but a gift of God.
Eph 2:8-9 "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast."
So can he/she still go to heaven? I guess so but i wouldn't risk it if I were him/her. We should pray to God for help & believe in God not kill ourselves. We should ask fellow brethren or others for help. Yes, we can go to heaven but what do you think Christ will say? "Hey! Why are u here so early? I have work still for you to do!" But i guess there would not be a good welcome like "Well done, my good & faithful servant. Come to enjoy your mansion & treasures in heaven." Why throw away all our treasures just to kill ourselves? Why get disqualified from the prize?
1 Cor. 9:24-27 "24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. 25 And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. 26 Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. 27 But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified." Even Paul the greatest Apostle to the Gentiles was afraid of being disqualified due to some sin. & committing suicide is murder of self & is a sin. Thank God, He has forgiven us of our sins by Christ's precious blood & sacrifice!
1 Jn 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
That brings us to whether a person who committed sucide can still confess cos he cannot! But look again at the verse. It says "forgive us our sins & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." ALL means ALL-past, present & future sins. Christ died for all our sins. How can there be some future sin that Jesus didn't die for or He would have to die again & again? Right? I pray for the souls of all the Christians who for one reason or other committed suicide. May God give rest to their souls. Amen.
