Question
what does the Bible say about your salvation if you kill yourself

Answer
Hi Ellie,

Suicide is never the answer! But...there is no sin that the Blood of Jesus Christ cannot cleanse.  If one trusts Jesus as his Savior, then all his sins are covered.  If there were any good that I could do in order to merit heaven ( such as not killing myself) then Christ died for nothing.

Galatians 2:21
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.

Galatians 3:1-3


O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
