BOTH the believer and the NON-believer suffer from NERVOUSNESS caused by the events of the last days. WHAT, then, is the advantage of becoming a believer?
The BELIEVER is promised a time of GREAT TRIBULATION.
- TRIBULATION: Believers Will Suffer Tribulation BEFORE Any End Times Physical Harm Befalls Them
- NO Escape From the TRIBULATION of the Last Days
- Living With the Tribulation of the End Times
- ANXIETY vs TRIBULATION
The NON-BELIEVER must deal with the anxiety which is a natural part of being surrounded by the UNFAMILIAR.
HOWEVER, the benefits of being a follower of Jesus (and God) during the last days are several.
1- The believer enjoys the company and protection of the strongest entity in the universe.
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
–Hebrews 13:5-6
2- The believer enjoys the MANY promises of a merciful God.
“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.”
–Colossians 3:4
3- It is the BELIEVER ONLY who enjoys the peace of God.
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
–Philippians 4:7
The wicked enjoy NO such peace.
“There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.”
–Isaiah 48:22
These are PRIMARILY the GREAT benefits of siding with God during the end times.
ONE of the greatest gifts of God to believers during the end times?
His PEACE–which passeth ALL understanding.
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
–Philippians 4:7
HAS the reader EVER considered the topic?
It is not YET too late–although time is surely running out: there is still a LITTLE time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
—1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
