412teens.org is a resource for young Christian believers who are looking for answers about life, relationships, and everything else. Our goal is to encourage teens, teach them from God's Word, and equip them with timeless wisdom and biblical practices.
We're a part of the Got Questions Ministries network. Our mission is to glorify God by providing biblical, applicable, compassionate, and timely answers to spiritually-related questions about topics of interest to young believers. We aim to encourage healthy physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health in every young Christian we encounter.
What's the deal with the 412? It's from 1 Timothy 4:12, which says, "Don't let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity" (NLT).

“Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.” —Ephesians 4:31-32 (NLT)
If we are to experience the very best God offers us, we must accept His guidance, protection, and blessings with gratitude and humility, handling our hearts with as much care and good sense as we can. We can post guards in our minds so that sin cannot activate and trickle down into our hearts.

“I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little.” — Philippians 4:12 (NLT)
Gather evidences of God's provision and care and write them down. When you're feeling discontent, refer to those reminders to help you have confidence that, whatever the state of your life, this is what God has said is best for you right now. Your level of contentment is your choice.
💬: How can we be content with God's promise of provision?

“Don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” —James 1:22 (NLT)
Those who love God have a natural desire to obey Him and His teachings and practice the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Remember, perfection isn't the goal. We can try our messy best to be obedient to God, and when we make mistakes, it's OK (1 John 1:8). God will see and honor our efforts.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” — John 1:1-3
Before God created the universe, He existed as the trinity—just as He does now. God was perfectly fulfilled and without lacking companionship before Creation, which tells us that He did not create the universe out of loneliness.
Before time began, God discussed the redemption of the world. Other than these facts, what happened "before the beginning" remains a mystery.
💬: How does it feel to know God isn’t lonely but wants you anyway?
