Is committing suicide unforgivable? What happens to Christians who commit suicide? If a loved one has taken their own life, do we have any hope that they will be in heaven?
On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a very heavy topic that has had an impact on many people: suicide. We know that all sins are forgivable, but what about one where there is no opportunity to ask forgiveness after the fact? We walk through what the Scripture has to say about the value of life and different cases of suicide in Scripture. Finally, we look at what exactly condemns us to Hell and how we are saved from that and where suicide falls into the mix. We hope that you will be encouraged after listening and would grow your biblical knowledge as well as gain a better understanding of God.
