Hi. So recently I have been trying to better my relationship with God, but I’ve been seeing a lot of videos about God comibg soon and the world ending and stuff. It’s been really making me scared the thought of the workd ending and my future going to uni and havung a family is gone. I know I should be happy the day Jesus arrives but I can’t help but worry about my future and my family because none of them are truly religious and I worry anout them going to Heaven. Then I start to worry about if I can even get into Heaven because I’m not the perfect Christian nor am I baptized because I don’t think my parents will let me. It makes me scared and anxious which is what I’m not supposed to be. Please if you can, I need advice to help. And go easy on me, I’m just new at this.

Hi, I do not know who I am addressing, but I know if advice is correct or not.
If anyone wanted to be ready for when Jesus returns, ( no such thing as a rapture, all is done in the blink of an eye, the day of the Lod comes as a thief in the night, not when they have already seen Jesus, that would speaking against faith.
1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible, and
we shall be changed.
1 Thessalonians 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
Then we already were told in 2 Peter 3, what manner of conversation we should have, in holiness and godliness. Ephesians 5 shows this is us being holy and without blemish, as 2 Peter 3 continued to say the same, we are to be diligent to be found of Him in peace, without spot and blemish, for us to be sanctified wholly ( cleansed of all unrighteousness) for our whole spirit and soul and body, to be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2, tells of obedience, and how we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. God to work in us to do of HIs good pleasure. To do all things without murmuring and disputes, ( to be found of Him in peace, holiness and godliness..) to be blameless and harmless, the Sons of God without rebuke, which is by holding forth the word of life so we have not run in vain.
Ephesians 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be
holy and
without blemish.
Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved
blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be
found of him in peace, without
spot, and blameless.
It is important to be vigilant, as there are many false prophet/teachers here now, but they make their mistake by saying many words, because the scriptures are wiser then they are, such as how we strive according to the good working of God in us, is working mightily, warning every man in all wisdom ( anything else is foolishness of this world) to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. ( blameless, harmless, in holiness and godliness. Complete in all the will of God.) For the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, to make us perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. )
Hope from Peter for us, for the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after we have suffered a while, makes us
perfect, establishes, strengthens, settles us.
Word from John for us, that we have known and believed the love that God has to us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him, herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.
Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand
perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Hebrews 13:20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you
perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
