If You Commit Suicide, Do You Go to Hell?

The Bible can be very confusing at times and many people get frustrated trying to understand this topic. All we can do look at examples of scripture.

Both Samson and King Saul committed suicide, but we believe both of them will be in heaven.

1 Samuel 31:4-5 "...But his armor-bearer was terrified and would not do it; so Saul took his own sword and fell on it. When the armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he too fell on his sword and died with him."

We expect to see Saul in heaven from the following verse:

1 Samuel 10:10  "...the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he joined in their prophesying."

The fact is, ALL sins are serious enough to send us to HELL. God commanded us not to murder, but His only son, Jesus Christ, died for our sins (past, present, and future sins) so that we can inherit eternal life in Heaven.  Committing suicide is essentially murdering yourself, which is a sin just like lying, stealing, fornicating, etc.  All of which, Christ's death paid for.

Does God Answer Prayers of the Unsaved?

Let's define "unsaved"

Unsaved - "In danger of the eternal punishment of Hell"  (thefreedictionary.com)
Someone who is unsaved, has not asked God for forgiveness of their sins and believed Jesus died for them.

Does God answer prayers of the unsaved?


John 9:31 "Now we know that God hears not sinners: but if any man be a worshiper of God, and does His will, him He hears." (King James)


Proverbs 1:27-29 "When calamity overtakes you like storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me. Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord," (NIV '84)


Our job as believers is to pray on behalf of the unbelievers (unsaved). 


Do you want to be saved?

You can go to www.theprayerpeople.org and learn how, OR you can pray this:

Jesus, I know that I have sinned against You and this separates me from You. I am sorry and I want to turn away from my sinful ways and turn to You. Please forgive me. I believe that You died for me and my sins, that You rose from the dead, and are alive and hear my prayers. I'm asking You to become my Savior and the Lord of my life from this day forward. Amen.

Sin and Forgiveness

Ever feel like you sin too much for God to forgive you?

Or maybe, that your sins are too big and God will choose not to forgive you?

The truth is that God can forgive you, no matter how much you sin or how big the sin is. He not only CAN forgive you, but He also WILL forgive you. All you have to do is ask! Everyone is capable of receiving God's forgiveness.

Psalm 65:3 "Though we are overwhelmed by our sins, You forgive them all."
