Suicide is a deeply complex and sensitive issue that intersects with mental health, theology, and personal suffering. Within the context of Christianity, the Bible provides a framework for understanding the sanctity of life, the nature of human despair, and the hope offered through faith. 

From the stories of biblical figures who faced profound despair to the teachings of Jesus on finding rest and peace in Him, the Bible offers both comfort and a call to seek divine support in times of distress. 

This article explores what the Bible says about suicide, exploring its teachings and aiming to understand whether suicide is a forgivable sin or a path to damnation.
