You know you could have done more here on this earth instead you just got selfish and decided to kill yourself. That's not right
Suicide is forgivable number two you're in Ephesians chapter 1 look at verse 7
It says in whom we have redemption through his blood the forgiveness of sins
According to the riches of his grace, and you know what God is really rich in grace. He's super rich
He's the richest being ever. There's no other being that's more rich than God is obviously
God owns everything anyway everything that we have we're just kind of borrowing really from him
They're his resources that he created right so
God just allows us to have rid riches like that
But his his riches are grace and that means that through his blood we get the forgiveness of sins
Not just the sins that we committed before we got saved
But even all the sins that will ever commit till the dying day that we have on this earth
He's he's forgiven them all so is suicide a forgivable sin absolutely it is
But you know just like with that kid
I was talking to I told him about the suicide the reason I was when I was giving him the gospel
I brought up that part about suicide. I said don't ever commit suicide. I said it hurts your family
It's wicked, but for the purpose of giving him the gospel. I talked to him about that
So you know?
Look we we're not supposed to commit suicide
God doesn't want us to do that and I I give that caveat with people when I'm talking to him because I don't want people
To think that oh, yeah, it's just okay to kill yourself, and they're like really thinking about it
I make sure to just say don't just bring that up flippantly and use that example without like telling people hey
Don't do that. It's wicked. It's wrong. I'm not forward at all
I'm just using it as an example to help you understand internal security
But anyway, let's look at turn a page and go to X Ephesians chapter 2 verse number 5
Ephesians chapter 2
Verse number 5 the Bible says
Even when we're dead in sin or excuse me look at verse 4, but God who is rich in mercy for his great
Love wherewith he loved us
Even when we were dead in sins hath quickened us together with Christ by grace
You're saved and hath raised up us to raise us up together and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
That
In the ages to come we might show the exceeding riches of the grace of his kindness toward us
Through Christ Jesus for by grace are you saved?
Through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God so just breaking this down really quickly
It's grace that we're saved through all right and gracious means that you're getting something you don't deserve
We don't deserve the grace of God. We don't deserve to be saved
We don't deserve by faith to be saved
But you know what God made it that way for us because we can't save ourselves
Nothing we can do can save ourselves and so Christ had to do all the heavy lifting for us
He had to die on the cross. He had to get buried in the grave
He had to rise from the dead, and we can't do that
We got our own sins that we have to die for but Christ was sinless and so when he died for us
He was the propitiation for all of our sins
Amen and so by grace we're saved through faith
We don't deserve that grace that grace is something we don't deserve, but you know through faith. We get that grace
