End Times Matthew 24:6


6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

We definitely hear about wars and rumors of war with today’s 24 hour media. But how can we keep from being frightened?

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist], but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and [so] he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love [is not yet grown into love’s complete perfection]. 1 John 4:18

He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. 1 John 4:8

The reason that we do not fear is because the perfect love of our Father drives all fear away from us. Our Father is love and we are now in His love and one with His love.

I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very [a]Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them. John 17:26

Jesus lives so that our Father’s love may be in us. Jesus lives so that we may be saved to the uttermost, Hebrews 7:25. So it is Jesus’ responsibility to cause us to not fear. Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth sets us free. We need to tell the world that Jesus is solely responsible for keeping us from being afraid. He will never leave us and He will never forsake us, , The glorious Truth is that we have been sealed until the day that Jesus returns with Love, Ephesians 4:30, and Love will never fail us, 1 Corinthians 13:8.

Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ( the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].

Jesus will never fail us, even during the end times. Jesus will never fade in His power, even during the end times. Actually the worse things become, the greater He will become to us, 2 Corinthians 12:10, so the greater Love will become, so the greater fear will be driven away.
