Hello Liam. Thank you for your comment. From what you have said have confidence that you are saved. Here are some verses for you and then I will share more thoughts. Romans 10 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 16 27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself. 28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.” 29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 1 John 5 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe in the name of the Son of God. John 6 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” Here's a channel on Salvation I highly recommend. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zrfZ692lii4.html My thoughts: I think that sometimes Christians make salvation like the holy grail, unachievable. Some link salvation to works or fruit which is very inaccurate. Jesus died to save us and we need to trust in Him alone because we're unable to save ourselves. We are SINNERS saved by grace and we will always be SINNERS saved by grace. Does that mean we should choose to live in sin and choose to rebel against GOD? No. But we will stumble and fall every day. Part of our growth is realizing the mercy and grace of the LORD daily. He knows all of our sins that we will ever commit and out of love died for all of us. There is nothing He is unaware of and that is why it's such an amazing gift. As far as fear, my goal is NOT to spread fear. I'm sad that our leaders and humanity have chosen to go down this path that the LORD has foretold. Our peace comes from Him telling us these things in advance and as we watch these things unfold. If you believe in Jesus then you are sealed and saved and NOTHING can separate you from His love. Why things will unravel is because this world is fading away and too many of us hold tightly to a fallen world. The LORD wants to make things NEW. First, with us through salvation and then all the way to a New Heaven and New Earth and all that happens in between. Now if you have family or friends that aren't believers yet, have no fear. Share Jesus when you can but not out of fear. Every human being is an eternal being. Mortal death isn't the end for anyone. One of the false beliefs today is that people who don't believe and die go to an eternal Hell, this is a lie of the Devil to cause fear. If this is a concern I'd encourage you to watch my video on Hell on my channel. Hopefully, this helps. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. I hope this helps reduce the fear and gives you peace. Take care. May the LORD bless you and keep you until He comes.
@@mbfrommb3699i do believe in Jesus, i try my best to not be afraid but every single time i see or read anything whether its scriptures,verses or videos about the second coming i get rly bad anxiety not only that i pray every night for God to let my family and friends receive him and accept him because they are of another religion and i really want to spend eternity in Heaven with them
