**Can You Go To Heaven if You Commit Suicide?**
According to Romans 8:31-38:
> What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all–how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died–more than that, who was raised to life–is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Or consider 1 John 1:9:
> If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Does this mean that God will forgive us, no matter what? Or is it saying that we must repent in order to be forgiven, and if you commit suicide, it is basically like apologizing for something, then doing it (the sin) right after. Suicide is not directly mentioned in these passages, but they give good context.
Thank you for answering, I know this is a sensitive topic so also please answer with discretion. If you or someone you know is dealing with thoughts of suicide, please contact Suicide Prevention or call 988.
