Lets get Started, by reading a couple verses, from the Word of God. Exodus 20:13 You shall not kill (should have been translated, “Thou shalt do no murder”; God, in His Holy Word, commands magistrates to put evil men to death [Rom. 13:4]; that is not murder; to “kill” and to “commit murder” are two different verbs in the Hebrew Text). Romans 13:4 For he (the Civil Magistrate) is the minister of God to you for good (proclaims Government as a Divine Institution). But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain (the sword is the symbol of the right of the State to inflict Capital punishment for Capital crimes): for he is the minister of God (not a Preacher of the Gospel, but a servant of the State), a revenger to execute wrath upon him who does evil (proclaims the right of the State, as ordained by God, to use whatever force is necessary to stop “evil,” i.e., crime).
Death is something that is not an easy subject to talk about with most people, is because they don't know who Jesus Christ is and that they are living in fear, due to the sins that they are living in. The world has rejected Jesus Christ and the people in the world, would rather follow darkness, instead of Light, which is Jesus Christ. Friends, if your living in any type of sin when you die? If you have not Accepted Jesus Christ as you personal Lord and Savior when you die? If you reject God? You will not make it. Those who are reborn again in Christ, will be Saved and in Heaven. Those who lives to kill and don't care what happens to them, has rejected Jesus Christ, the Cross and Him Crucified, they will end in Hell fire for all eternity, unless they repent and turn away from the life of destruction. What about those who commit suicide? Will they be Saved and go to Heaven? There is a lot of people who has asked this question from time to time, and I am one of them, I admit it. Yes, there will be some who still go to Heaven, if they commit suicide and their are those who will go to hell. I have heard people will go to hell, automatically, if they take their own lives. Listen, Jesus Christ died on the Cross for past, present and future sins. That means for all sins, including suicide. This still does not give you the right to take your own life. I am talking about those who are Christian and reborn again, if they are on medications that may give them suicidal thoughts, and in the spare of the moment, commit suicide, due to depression, even if it is planned out, they all will still go to Heaven, they just may lose some rewards, when they die, but they still will go to Heaven. Many people will look back at the old covenant Law, which is the Law of Moses, known as the ten commandments. No one in this world can keep it, without breaking it. The ten commandments does nothing more than show peoples sins and there is no Salvation in the ten Commandments. Thank God for the New Covenant Law, God's Grace and that is what was brought to us by and through the Death and Blood of Jesus Christ. He died for past, present and future sins. What does that mean? It means that once you become a Born Again Believer, you are Saved from all sins, including suicide. All sin can be forgiven of, except Blaspheming the Holy Ghost. What is that? It is denying Jesus Christ and turning your back on God and ignoring His Warnings, that will send you to hell and there is no escape of damnation, that will be your eternal punishment for ever. Wow, is He being Judgmental? Yes and I have every right. If God Spoke It, I have every right to Preach it. I will never sugar coat the Word of God, just to satisfy your sins, I am going to do the Lords Will and expose it. There were seven Suicides in the Bible, and all are in Heaven today, due to being a Reborn Again Christian, except for one, because He rejected Jesus Christ. Judges 9:52-54 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire. Judges 16:25-30 25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport (they didn’t seem to realize that his hair had grown back). And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars (the two pillars which held up this house of Dagon worship). 26 And Samson said unto the lad who held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house stands, that I may lean upon them. 27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women (no doubt, the elite of the Philistines), who beheld while Samson made sport (made sport of him, which, in his blindness, he had no recourse). 28 And Samson called unto the LORD (the type of prayer prayed by Samson will always be heard by the Lord), and said, O Lord GOD (the term “Lord GOD” refers to the “God of Covenants,” which, in itself, speaks volumes), remember me, I pray You (a petition of humility), and strengthen me, I pray You, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left. (I wonder what these thousands of Philistines were thinking, when they saw him put his arms around these two pillars? The jesting and the mocking could probably be heard for quite a distance.) 30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines (he did not commit suicide, but rather gave his life). And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people who were therein. So the dead which he killed at his death were more than they which he killed in his life. 1 Samual 31:3-4 3 And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers. (There was no other way it could go. Samuel was dead and David had been spurned by Saul, who had attempted many times to kill him. As well, Saul had now resorted to demon spirits.) 4 Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. (The horror of total despair records every moment of this scene. How different it could have been! There was a time that the Spirit of God came upon Saul, but now the Philistines come upon him instead. Israel’s first king commits suicide.) 2 Samual 17:23 23 And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and got him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. (So died the man who would not forgive David and had fomented a rebellion to dethrone “God’s anointed.” The Child of God must ever understand that he is obligated to forgive those whom God forgives. To do less is to set oneself on the road to disaster.) 1 Kings 16:15-20 THE WICKEDNESS OF OMRI 15 In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines. 16 And the people who were encamped heard say, Zimri has conspired, and has also killed the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp. 17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah. 18 And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king’s house, and burnt the king’s house over him with fire, and died, 19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin (all of this tells us that the Lord cut short the lives of these kings because of their evil). 20 Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel? (The casual reader may wonder why all of this is important. It is important because these people were raised up by God to carry His Name in the Earth. In fact, Israel and Judah were the only two nations in the world which knew Jehovah. Sadly and regrettably, they were poor examples, and were such until they were finally destroyed; however, the promises and predictions of the Prophets are clear that Israel will be restored, and that restoration has already begun. It will come to its successful conclusion at the Second Coming, when Israel then accepts Christ as her Saviour and her Lord.) HeBrews 11:32 EXAMPLES 32 And what shall I more say? (This refers to the fact that enough has now been said to guide all who are willing to search the Scriptures for themselves.) for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the Prophets: Judas Iscariot, Betrayed Jesus Christ and Blaphemed the Holy Spirit, so he hung Himself and went to hell. How are we Saved? By Grace and not Works. Works is Water Baptism, if you think you are Saved by that, you then have been fooled by false Doctrine. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by Grace (the Goodness of God) are you Saved through Faith (Faith in Christ, with the Cross ever as its Object); and that not of yourselves (none of this is of us, but all is of Him): it is the Gift of God (anytime the word “Gift” is used, God is speaking of His Son and His Substitutionary Work on the Cross, which makes all of this possible): 9 Not of works (man cannot merit Salvation, irrespective what he does), lest any man should boast (boast in his own ability and strength; we are allowed to boast only in the Cross [Gal. 6:14]). Galations 6:14 14 But God forbid that I should glory (boast), save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (what the opponents of Paul sought to escape at the price of insincerity is the Apostle’s only basis of exultation), by Whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (The only way we can overcome the world, and I mean the only way, is by placing our Faith exclusively in the Cross of Christ and keeping it there.) Titus 3:5 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done (presents the utter impossibility of man performing works of Righteousness which will save him), but according to His Mercy He saved us (the initiative of Salvation springs entirely from the Lord, and is carried out by means of the Cross), by the washing of Regeneration (in effect, the Born-Again Believer is regened, which is brought about by a cleansing process, with the Blood having cleansed from all sin, both its power and its guilt [I Jn. 1:7]), and renewing of the Holy Spirit (proclaims the Member of the God-head Who actually carries out the work of Regeneration in the heart and life of the Believing sinner, which He does by exhibited Faith in Christ on the part of the individual); 1 John 1:77 But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another (if we claim fellowship with Him, we will at the same time walk in the Light, which is the sphere of His Walk), and the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. (Our Faith being in the Cross, the shed Blood of Jesus Christ, constantly cleanses us from all sin.) Murder and suicide is not a unforgivable sin. I am not saying its ok to accept Jesus Christ and then go out and kill yourself, that would make you an opportunist and God will not allow that, so don't get the wrong idea. This here is to show you that all sins are forgivable, except rejecting Jesus Christ and the Cross. Moses Killed an Egyptian and was forgiven of murder. Exodus 2:14 And he said, Who made you a prince and a judge over us? do you intend to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known. Murder, self murder, even if its a planned out suicide, if the person is a reborn again Christian, he or she will still go to Heaven but, just lose some rewards, but they will be Saved. Those who are not reborn again in the Christian Faith, will end up going to hell, due to rejection of Jesus Christ and of what He did at the cross. We are going to be closing out with a few more scriptures. John 11:26 26 And whosoever lives and believes in Me shall never die (“whoever believes in Me will live Eternally”). Do you believe this? (The Resurrection is the end of death; consequently death has no more to do with the Redeemed; it has done all it can do; it is finished! the Redeemed live in the imparted life that put an end to it; for them, the old life, its death and judgment no longer exist.) Isaiah 43:14 14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought down all their nobles, and the Chaldeans, whose cry is in the ships. (Now the Prophecy is given concerning the coming destruction of Babylon. It would happen approximately 170 years in the future. John 6:37 37 All who the Father gives Me shall come to Me (refers to all, whomever they may be, whether Israelites, Gentiles, Pharisees, Scoffers, Harlots, or even the very Castaways of the Devil); and him who comes to Me I will in no wise cast out (proclaims to all a promise of unparalleled proportion; no one has ever been turned away, and no one will ever be turned away). John 10:28 28 And I give unto them Eternal Life (carries with it a promise that cannot be matched elsewhere under any circumstances); and they shall never perish (means that no Believer need ever fear that God will change His Mind respecting their Salvation), neither shall any man pluck them out of My Hand (refers to any and all outside forces; however, if one so desires, one can take one’s self out of His Hand, which regrettably millions have done). I feel in my heart and soul, that this concludes with proof, that anyone who is a born again Christian, should not fear Death, or take their own life in a despair situation. Once again, I am not supporting or saying that is ok to do so, because it still is a sin but, it won't keep you out of Heaven, you just may lose some rewards, but you still will go to Heaven. As we prepare to close out, I Pray and hope that this message from God, has recaptured your heart and soul and has brought you back to repentance at the foot of the Cross. Deny yourselves and die to sin and ask Jesus Christ into your hearts and accept Him as your Savior and turn away from the sins of the world and of Satan, so you can come Alive in and through Jesus Christ and be Saved from all sin. It does not matter who you are, or where you have been, just come as you are and allow the Holy Ghost do the changing in you. You cant't change yourselves, only Jesus Christ can. God Bless you all and go with God today and through out, the rest of your lives. God's Blood covers all sins, Death and suicides, if the person has been reborn again, before their death.
