Hope Beyond Despair: Finding Truth After A Loved One’s Suicide預覽

LIE #7: People who commit suicide go to hell.

Some people believe and teach that anyone who commits suicide goes to hell. But this is simply a lie.

TRUTH: People who have received Jesus’ forgiveness of sin go to be with Him; those who haven’t go to hell.

The mode of physical death does not matter. A person’s eternal destiny is not determined by how they die, but on their relationship with Jesus Christ. If a person commits suicide and has not received forgiveness of sin, this person will not spend eternity in the presence of the Lord. 

However, if someone has received forgiveness of sin, and sadly, chooses to commit suicide, this person will still spend eternity in the presence of the Lord. It is tragic and heartbreaking to choose suicide and enter heaven through this unrighteous act. Although salvation includes forgiveness of all sin, suicide should never be the answer to people’s suffering.
