Do people who commit suicide go to heaven?
The answer depends upon the relationship they had with Christ before taking their own life. The truth is even Christians can suffer from great depression and heartbreaks. It is my opinion that people who commit suicide are not thinking rationally. When a person commits suicide, it is a lose-lose situation. Not only does the person lose his or her life, but the people in that person’s life are also left with a sense of loss. Suicide is a sin, but the Bible only lists one sin that is unforgivable, rejecting Christ. If a person has authentically accepted Christ as their Savior, than I think that person is not precluded from going to heaven. In reality, all of us will die with unconfessed sin in our lives. What washes away our sin is the blood of Christ, but we must remember the Lord gives life and takes away life. Even in the darkest of circumstances, it is NEVER our place to take our own lives.
