Hello Fellow Steemians!!!
When God commands that we not kill, it’s interesting he didn’t simply focus on physical murder. There are other ways to commit murder. The Bible says,
You shall not murder.
- Exodus 20:13
New International Version
“You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’
- Matthew 5:21
New International Version
Chances are, the first thing that popped into your mind when you read that, was the act of murdering another person. But this rule also applies to how we treat ourselves. Since we didn’t create our life, we don’t have the authority to decide when our life should end. And to commit suicide is breaking this commandment. Yes, God understands a mind and heart that are emotionally unstable and psychologically damaged. But he has also commanded that we not murder. So the person who commits suicide is willingly and knowingly breaking this important commandment of God.
Through this commandment, God is talking about much more than an act. He’s talking about a lifestyle. Because he created life and cherishes it, he wants us to value life as well—all of life. He wants us to cherish the unborn and to take care of the animal kingdom, the plant life, and our world at large.
Pray It!
Ask God to help you appreciate and understand the value of life. Be blessed and keep on smiling whenever and wherever you are. Have a great day everyone! God bless us all and again thank you for your time.🙂
