While we were still sinners, Christ died for us... because He loves us. 1 John 1.9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God does love you, He is more than willing to forgive you. If you ask for forgiveness He promises He will forgive. If you have been forgiven and still feel guilty what you are experiencing false guilt. You can learn to accept and believe in God's forgiveness, especially as you forgive others. See Matthew 6.10 and following including the Lord's Prayer and the explanation of the prayer by Jesus.

Because the bible tells us so. A lot of us asked God to be Lord and then went the other way. This is why we need to get grounded in the Word of God. It is living! You were on Jesus' mind when He hung on the cross. He said he will never leave you not forsake you. He is not a God that can lie. His promises are true. Our prayers are hindered because on our unconfessed sin, our lack of repentance.First thing we all need to do is get into a quiet place to get real with God. He always has a listening ear for those who repent and believe! God wants a personal, intimate relationship with you. He wants to be Lord of your life! You are perfectly and wonderfully made. He knew you before the foundations of the world and chose you to be born at a time such as this. He chose your parents and knitted you in your mother's womb. He has a perfect plan for your life. He made you not for your own pleasures but His. He gave his life for you so that you could have everlasting life in heaven and an abundant life here and now, filled with joy, peace, love and contentment. It's a process that starts at repentance and believe there is even a God. Jesus took upon himself all the sins of the world, that means you too. Sickness and disease, oppression, poverty etc. All of it so you wouldn't have to suffer these things. Faith is the substance of things not seen. Put your faith and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. He will never leave you not forsake you. He doesn't love you or not love you according to your performance. In that while we were yet sinners He gave His life for us! That means you! We can always come back to the Lord and He is there with open arms. Stay in the Word of God to renew your mind. If you are willing to seek Him, you will find Him. Seek Him like you are looking for Gold. The Word of God will change you, because God is right there with you. God bless. I'll keep you in my prayers.

God is a father. Think if you had a child who you loved, and that child went out and sinned and cheated and messed up. If that child came back and asked for forgiveness would you hesitate to take the child back? God always loves you. He doesn't keep a scoreboard.
This of course doesn't mean you can do what ever you want and get away with it. God is always pursuing you, but you still have to pursue him.

If you ever felt guilty from inside, going towards sex, drugs or rock & roll, if you ever felt joy from inside helping a child, old or poor; that was the God. He always make fear inside you while making any fault & joy while doing good things. He was, is & will remain inside you and warn or praise you according to your tendency towards good or evil.

Don't listen to others. God does love you and is here for you. He is ready to forgive like the prodigal son's father was ready to welcome his son back into the family. You can know you're loved through answers like this because we answer according to the lead of God the Holy Spirit. You can know you're loved because God created you to love you, and he waits for you to love Him in return. Abide in His love and take comfort.

1 The LORD created Jacob and formed Israel. Now, this is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid, because I have reclaimed you. I have called you by name; you are mine.
2 When you go through the sea, I am with you. When you go through rivers, they will not sweep you away. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, and the flames will not harm you.
3 I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Egypt is the ransom I exchanged for you. Sudan and Seba are the price I paid for you.
4 Since you are precious to me, you are honored and I love you. I will exchange others for you. Nations will be the price I pay for your life.
5 Do not be afraid, because I am with you. I will bring your descendants from the east and gather you from the west.
6 I will say to the north, "Give them up," and to the south, "Do not keep them." Bring my sons from far away and my daughters from the ends of the earth.
7 Bring everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.
8 Bring the people who are blind but still have eyes, the people who are deaf but still have ears.
9 All nations have gathered together, and people have assembled. Who among them could have revealed this? Who among them could have foretold this to us? They should bring their witnesses to prove that they were right. Let the people hear them. Then they will say that it is true.
10 "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD. "I have chosen you as my servant so that you can know and believe in me and understand that I am the one [who did this]. No god was formed before me, and there will be none after me.
11 I alone am the LORD, and there is no savior except me.
12 I have revealed it to you, I have saved you, and I have announced it to you. There was no foreign [god] among you. You are my witnesses that I am God," declares the LORD.
13 "From the [first] day I was the one [who did this]. No one can rescue people from my power. When I do something, who can undo it?”
14 This is what the LORD, your Defender, the Holy One of Israel, says: For your sake I will send [an army] to Babylon. I will bring back all the Babylonian refugees in the ships that they take pride in.
15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.
16 The LORD makes a path through the sea and a road through the strong currents.
17 He leads chariots and horses, an army and reinforcements. (They lie down together and do not get up [again]. They are extinguished and snuffed out like a wick.) This is what the LORD says:
18 Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago.
19 I am going to do something new. It is already happening. Don't you recognize it? I will clear a way in the desert. I will make rivers on dry land.
20 Wild animals, jackals, and ostriches will honor me. I will provide water in the desert. I will make rivers on the dry land for my chosen people to drink.
21 I have formed these people for myself. They will praise me.

You have to have faith always in he who is our Father. It is through Jesus Christ they our sins are made clean before God. God will punish the ones that are close to him and when they follow his word then they are rewarded.
Lift up your problems any problem to God, for he is greater then any thing on this earth and in the heavens.

Because He took on the persona of Jesus Christ and died for your sins. That was out of sheer, unconditional love; He loves you because you're His creation and He wants nothing more than for you to acknowledge Him and live a godly life.
He loves you no matter what, always. Follow His word.
