If A Christian Who Died By Suicide Cannot Lose Heaven, What About Matt 24:13 and Php 2:12?
Question : If a believer cannot lose his salvation even if he dies by suicide, what about the following verse in the Bible through which God says, "He who endures till the end shall be saved". And also about the following verse which says, "workout your salvation with fear and trembling heart!" God bless you all.
Answer : Praise the Lord! We can generally from the Scripture say that those who are truly saved will only be able to endure till the end and therefore get saved for eternity because God is the one who keeps us in His hand and helps us endure trials and temptations through His grace (John 10:28-29; 1 Cor 10:13; 2 Cor 12:9). Others who are not really saved might stay within the Church for a certain period of time for having a good time, fellowship and receive material blessings, but will create some problems and will leave the Church because they are not really a part of the universal Church of Jesus Christ (1 John 2:19; Matt 16:18-19). But specifically this verse "He who endures till the end shall be saved" has been spoken by Jesus in the context of the Tribulation saints who will live during the time of the Great Tribulation that is coming upon all the earth (Matt 24:13; Rev 3:10). In the context of the verse Matt 24:13-14, we see that the Gospel will be preached to all the world as a witness, and then the end of the old world to a shift in the world government will happen after that where Jesus will be the King of the world for a Millennium. The gospel will not be fully preached in all the world by the Church as some believe, but clearly Jesus revealed that angels from heaven will preach the gospel to all the world after the Rapture of the Church and before the world will receive the mark of the beast (Rev 13:7-8; 14:6-13). For the saints of that time of Tribulation they have to stay faithful until the end without accepting the 666 mark on their right hand or their forehead which God has said will directly lead to damnation for eternity ahead (Rev 13:16-18, 14:9; 19:20-21; 20:4). But those who are truly saved only will have the ability to endure to the end even at that time because God is the one who sustains them having recorded their name in the book of life eternally (Rev 13:7-8; Luke 10:20). Again the verse "workout your salvation with fear and trembling" is succeeded by the verse which says "it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure", which points to us that actually God who starts working within us when the moment we get saved, will work faithfully until the day of redemption of our bodies on the day of our rapture, all we have to do is to cooperate with Him to work out things as He works within us and be blessed on earth and earn our reward for eternity ahead which is full of glory and honor (Eph 1:13-14; 6:7-8; Php 1:6; 2:12-13; 4:17, 19). So we cannot make a valid case for a believer to lose his salvation just because he died of suicide or any other sin of any kind based on the Scripture in context to its true intent. Thank you.
