Oh dear! Mercy! Suicide is not allowed in most religions. Especially Christianity and Muslim.
However, suppose a Christian commits suicide to avoid burdening and speed up claims to help the family. When Judgement day comes, he can argue "I died for the love of my family. Similar to what you did when you died for the love for all of us when you volunteered to die on the Cross. Should I be punished for an act of love and sacrifice, something which you yourself committed?"
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast."
( i like the above verse very much because if i can save myself why is there a God? Or why do i need a GOD? i can save myself ma! Isn't it? )
Above is the foundation of Christain belief.
EXtract:
In one sense, we all operate every day on faith in many different areas of our lives. If you've ever eaten at a restaurant, accepted a doctor's prescription, or planned for the future, you have certainly been operating on a degree of faith, that in fact, may be a bit blind.
As C. S. Lewis said (see resource list), most of the things you believe are believed on authority, secondary evidence, etc. For example, you may never have actually seen a molecule, but you have no doubt that molecules exist. Even more to the point, we are confident that things like gravity, time, the laws of logic, and true love exist even though we cannot see them. Of course, experience and rational investigation should increase your confidence in what is true.
Even the atheist has faith. The atheist has faith that the world exploded into existence but nobody caused it.
The issue is not faith. Everyone has a faith—atheist, agnostic, or Christian. The real issue is what is a worthy object of our faith. In this section of our website we will show that Christianity is reasonable and rational, that it is logically consistent, that it fits the evidence, and that it is relevant for modern man. And we hope to clear up a few common misconceptions about Christianity.

Christianity is not mere blind faith. As emphasized by theologian D. James Kennedy, the claim that belief in Christianity produces an irrational, uneducated, unintelligent, or unintellectual view of life is completely false. And the statement that unbelief produces a rational and intelligent and enlightened view of the universe is equally false.
Blind faith is faith without evidence, which would be superstition. The Bible does not call us to blind faith. The Bible calls us to faith in evidence. We submit that various truth claims, including Christianity, should be evaluated on the evidence.
Yes, there will always be a step of faith for the Christian. But that step doesn't require a person to leave his brains at the church door.
