1st Corinthians 6:19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? 20 For you are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
[4] Depression and suicidal thoughts could also be induced because of terminal illness, where persons might be given only weeks or months to live. This particular situation has been amplified with the practice of assisted suicide, by which persons could request some potent mix from certain doctors in an effort to call it quits. It’s tough to be told that you’re terminally ill and some individuals, rather than allow the inevitable to be prolonged, they may opt for the quickest way out.
Living with severe perpetual pain and living with the thought that you are terminally ill can drive one into despondency, and therefore, we must now turn to the scriptures to see what the Bible has to say about the issue of suicide, and what can be done about it. The following points must be understood clearly, so as to certify God’s will on the issue.
[1] Our human body does not belong to us, for we are the property of God both by creation and by redemption. In other words, we are owned twice over by The Lord who made us. When you hear songs on the radio such as “It’s my life” and “I did it my way” the words are a reflection of the fact that many are ignorant of the fact that all of us, without exception, belong to God.
Psalms 100: 3 Know you that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
