And here we go. . . news breaking that Robin Williams committed suicide and people are already judging him and saying he is going to hell. Just for the record for all those having those thoughts, no where in Scripture does it state that suicide is the unpardonable sin. The only unpardonable sin is committed by those who willfully and permanently reject God’s offer of love in Jesus Christ (John 3:36). Without faith (confident trust and reliance) in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, a person will face God’s just wrath in the afterlife (1 Timothy 2:5–6). Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death atones for all the sins of his people—past, present, and future (Romans 3:25). And God will not remove his forgiving love because a mentally sick person in a state of desperation commits a terrible self-destructive deed (Romans 8:37). Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ enjoy God’s enduring and complete forgiveness for all their sins (2 Corinthians 5:18–19). If we think that suicide is immune to the cleansing blood of Christ we have misunderstood the extent of redemption!
