I am a 15-year-old girl, and I love God, but lately, I've been not so sure he loves me. I don't feel like I'm important enough for him to want to help me and answer my prayers. Can somebody help find a solution to this problem I'm having? Possibly with a scripture reference? I just really need some assurance right now. (And please, intelligent answers only.)

No matter how hard you try, youre going to have the idiots that post idiotic responses. I dont know why you would say he doesnt love you. If a man goes all the way to be crucified and beaten for you and I dont see that as love, I am a fool. Know that Christ loved you. John 3:16 For God so LOVED THE WOLRD that HE GAVE his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not Perish but have everlasting life And No chris, trinity is not true. God doesnt share his glory with others and trinitarians place three in the god family. God is not a family, he is an indivisible spirit that has revealed himself in different forms and spoken in different ways(Hebrews 1:1 I believe) Deut 6:4 says there is only one God, believe that and you'll be saved. God is not three persons or deities, but ONE. One Lord, ONE Faith, ONE BAPtism(Eph 4:5)
Acts 2:21

Jesus loves you so much that he sent his Son to die on the cross, so that you will be forgiven and saved. :)



Faith alone in Jesus alone = salvation :)



To be saved all you have to do is believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, and accept him into your life. All saved believers are still sinners but when you believe and accept you are forgiven and allowed into the kingdom of God.



Being good, and works do not save, only Jesus saves.



Ephesians 2:8-10

John 3:16

Romans 4:2-5



Here is a link that helped me with my salvation, hope this helps you as much as this helped me. :)

You need a long rest. Do you really think your ranting here changes anyone's thinking? Even if Jesus really existed, your senseless bleating would neither help nor hurt his cause. And, why did you delete your raving sermonette about praying for god to kill terrorists? Is it possible that even YOU recognized the insanity there? Really, think about signing yourself in somewhere. There are medications that could help.

He doesn't! He just gave his life for no reason!!

This is the most intelligent answer you'll get!!

Why would he give his life for us? We do everything to him that's thinkable!! We curse him, use his name in vain, use physical violence against him, spit on him, and just flat out deny he even existed!! It doesn't make any sense but yet he Loves us so much he gave his life so we will live!! Go figure!!

If Jesus didn't love you, why would he have suffered all that pain and died on that cross, just so you can be cleansed of your unrighteousness and be with him forever? There is no doubt that he loves you:)



John 3:16--"For God SO LOVED THE WORLD that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life."



Romans 5:8--"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."



<3 i hope this helped. Feel free to email me with any questions, and I'll be glad to answer them. If you are ever feeling down, I'm always here to encourage. :) God bless!

We know that He loves us cause he died on the cross for our sins and that fact that he suffered that for us. God isn't always going to answer your prayers sometime you have to seek them. Sometimes the answer is sitting in front of you and sometimes He might not answer it for years. That does not mean He doesnt love you. John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

i have had douts to but sometimes you have to keep loving him for you to know he loves you. Keep praying. Keep reading your bible and dont ever give up on your God because he love you so much. He might not be helping you with your problem right now but he will in HIS timing not yours cause he knows the right time to give you the help.

Jesus went to the cross and suffered greatly so you and I can have life through Him. He did that because He loves us. He did that so we can be set free from the condemnation of sin. "In Him we live, move and have our being." (Acts 17:28) That is love and it is for you.

"Your constant love is better than life itself, and so I will praise You, I will give you thanks as long as I live" Ps 63 or 36...I'm not great with chapters/verses

Read the love poem of the Bible; the Song of Solomon. It is an illustration of the intensity and passion of God's love for the individual soul; it was penned for you..

John 15:



13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17These things I command you, that ye love one another.





1John 4:



7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.



8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.



9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.



10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.



11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Because he gave his life that you might live!



"For you, child. I do this FOR YOU!"



Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.



Jam 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
