Suicide is viewed as a serious sin and a form of self-murder, which can lead to great confusion and pain for the loved ones left behind.
The Bible teaches that suicide is an awful act with no justification. It originates from selfishness, breaks the hearts of loved ones, and brings confusion to those who witness it. For a professing Christian, such an act can cast doubt on their faith and witness. The Scriptures emphasize the sanctity of life and the importance of seeking God's mercy and refuge in times of despair, rather than resorting to self-harm. True believers, regardless of their mental state, are eternally secure in Christ and should seek help and comfort in God's merciful nature.
