Life on this earth will end, and it scares people, even me to an extent.
Although I know a better life awaits on the other side of eternity, all I know only this life, this existence, so far, and I guess it's fear of the unknown that scares me. Even though I know what the Bible says, and I have faith in God to keep His promises, His Word, the flesh always wars with the spirit and those fears have never been completely wiped away.
Does that make sense? Sometimes I wonder if I'm coming across in a coherent manner. :-)
We all have our moments where the enemy and his human minions try to shake our confidence in The Lord.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
It’s probably why we are witnessing the evil manifesting on an exponential basis, so we don’t become comfortable living in this world. Our citizenship is in Heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Like you, I wonder what we will have to endure during these birth pangs before the catching up.
1 Thes 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Yes, it makes sense.
That’s exactly how I feel.
Everything beyond this life is unknown. there’s a natural fear of that.
