A conversation I heard recently got me thinking about heaven and hell, forgiveness and how these things work.
Someone said that if you are a Christian and commit suicide, you will not be forgiven. My question then, is this "Will God allow me to successfully commit suicide, if it's not His will?" I believe that God's will will ultimately prevail in my life. Sure, we were given free will, but God has set out our lives from before we were born. God brings good things into our lives and allows bad things to get us to see the error of our ways.
As per Isaiah 48:7 : "I form the light and the dark. I send good times and bad."
The bible says in various places that in the end everyone will submit to God. As per Philipians 2:8-10 "...every knee shall bow, every tongue confess.."
What happens if I don't have time to ask for forgiveness before I die? Will I be forgiven?
During this conversation, the person used this example: What if it is God's will for me to commit suicide and someone else steps in to stop me?
Well, who is more mighty - God, or the person trying to prevent me from committing suicide? Of course God will prevent the person from preventing me!
We don't have all the answers. We can only ask God to reveal it to us and believe and the answers will come to us.
