Let's continue to lift up Smilee for complete healing from surgery. "He sent His word and healed them" (Ps. 107:20). Praying for no stiffness, a strengthened and straightened knee, and a perfect walk. Trusting Jesus for a quick return to work. In His name!

a person asked if a believer commits suicide will they go to hell? based on gods word - no. jesus says that no one will snatch his sheep from his fathers hand. "my sheep hear my voice. i know them and they follow me"
god is a man who cannot lie. he made a promise that no one can snatch his children (followers/believers) from his hand. that means no. one cannot lose their salvation. god gave his word.
believers who become distressed to the point of ending it all aren't in their right mind or right way of thinking. god knows this and he provides his mercy and grace. no one will pluck or snatch that believer from his hand.
"and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand." john 10:28
the bible says that the moment we accept christ we are guaranteed eternal life. don't ostracize or berate people who contend with suicidal thoughts. and be careful with what you tell people who have family or friends that have committed suicide.
they are going through enough pain and heart ache. the person who resorted to ending their life had obviously lost hope and had given up. they were tired of being a burden to themselves and others. they couldn't cope. that doesn't mean they were selfish (as many people falsely think). it means they were at the end of it all and saw no way out. hope deferred makes the heart sick. they wanted and needed the pain and torment to end. they were in a deep moment of weakness, despair and/or spiritual attack. they were in that moment still covered by the blood of jesus christ.
romans 8:38-39 no created thing can separate a believer from gods love. suicide being a created thing. not even suicide can separate a believer from gods love since jesus died for their sins.
if a believer is going through a rough time and mentions suicide. never say anything to ridicule or show them scorn. you're better to say very little about it and love them. seriously pray for them as much as you humanly can. suggest or offer them to seek help. but do not try to guilt trip that person or make them feel bad. telling them that they will go to hell doesnt scare them away from it, it adds another layer of guilt upon them and feelings of shame, which can also drive them to do commit suicide. we are commanded do love one another. not judge them.
