check out this webby. Came across it just now. It's just some questions that you may have asked yourself in the past days, months, or even years. who knows. maybe you could somewhat get some answers from there. (:
Here are some Questions and Answers I've gathered from the website:
I am afraid of the end of the world. What should I do?
.
This web site is full of answers to that question. In a nutshell, though, the primary thing you need to do, in preparation for the coming end times, is to be sure you are right with God. World events, fear of the future, and uncertainty about theological issues can drive even the most solid believers mad. There is even more fear in the minds of those who are unsure of their relationship with the Lord.
Once you have a clean house, per se, you will find that your fears tend to fall aside. The surpassing greatness of the prospect of eternity with Christ far exceeds any anxiety you may feel over a few uncomfortable years before the end.
If you don’t feel the peaceful assurance of your salvation, that should be a much bigger concern than the coming world events. To remedy this issue, you may want to seek the counsel of a trusted pastor or friend. You can also see the answers to other questions on this site that pertain to salvation.
Psalm 2:1–4, Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us”. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Philippians 4:6–7, Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 26:3, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee.
What exactly is the tribulation?
.
The word "tribulation," used as a prophetic term, comes from Jesus' Olivet discourse, during which He laid out the future course of human history all the way to its climax at His Second Coming. The Lord said, in response to His disciples’ question, "What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be" (Matt. 24:21).
"Tribulation" is the term for the general era of God's judgment on a rebellious world of earth-dwellers. It is a time that will begin with Antichrist signing a seven-year covenant guaranteeing Israel's peace and security (Dan. 9:27). This era is kicked off, symbolically, beginning with the first horseman of the Apocalypse (Rev. 6:1).
"Great Tribulation" is considered to be the last three and one-half years of that seven-year period known as "Daniel's seventieth week." The last three and one-half years is called "the time of Jacob's trouble" in Jeremiah 30:7, when God's most horrific, but totally righteous, wrath is poured directly upon the rebels of planet Earth. These judgments are portrayed and precisely outlined in Revelation, chapters 6 through 19. The Tribulation will end when Christ returns from Heaven to defeat God's enemies and set up His Millennial Kingdom on earth (Rev. 19:11-16).
I trust in Jesus for my salvation, but why do I still struggle with sin?
.
After receiving e-mails from thousands of people over the years, I've concluded that all believers have to struggle to maintain their faith. Some folks have to struggle more than others, but generally everyone has some level of difficulty.
It’s the people who have no guilt or realization of their eternal state who make the Christian walk seem all the more difficult. Show me a believer who says, "I never have to worry about backsliding," and I will show you someone who is already deep into apostasy. We’re all running in a race, and God doesn’t care how many times we stumble. The only thing He cares about is who makes it to the finish line.
We don’t collect holy points for the number of days that we keep ourselves clean from immorality. Every day we need to rely on Jesus’ ability to cleanse us from sin.
"Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven" (Mat. 18:21-22).
"For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not" (Ecclesiastes 7:20).
"Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[1] And lead us not into temptation" (Luke 11:4).
