Condolence of Suicide

Suicide is grievous. It is never God's will that a person take his own life; it is the devil who discourages. People suffer from mental pain. Some may get to a point they think life is more than they can bear. Too painful to bear. It really isn't and especially to a person who has fellowship with our savior and Lord Jesus Christ. However, if we fail to reach, correct and lift up that person who is suffering psychologically, we know what can happen and experience the emotions, pain and grief we go through.

It is not lack of talent or greatness that causes suicide; it is a spiritual deficiency and lack of hope. Some women have taken toxic pills to avoid being raped, defiled and polluted by wicked and perverse, invading armies. Their chastity and integrity was cherished. Some great military men have killed themselves so as to prevent being captured by an enemy. Instead of facing the interrogation and consequences at the lack of mercy of their opponents, they stopped the chance of their adversaries delighting in their humiliation and pain of punishment.

Sadly, a person choosing his own death to end or escape worse pain cannot be morally justified from us who possess faith, hope and love because we rather let the enemy take our lives enduring hardship, even if it is battling in self-defense, and not take our own lives.

Sometimes unlearned Christians, especially teachers, will make a sweeping, false statement even though they may believe it. They fail to search the Scriptures on some subjects and draw their conclusions too short. Don't be like that and don't put too much confidence in a person that seems to know what they are doing. Always look unto God and the Bible for the authority, sometimes that may take quite a bit of study.
