I need to know where in the word of God it might say this for I'm forever learning and in stress to know. I'm stressing for knowledge. I need to learn and this is one area I'm looking into at this time and need help from my fellow believers to help me in.
Why are you stressing over this?
Remember what Jesus said
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own evil" (Matt. 6:34).
We are not to be preoccupied with the future. We are to live in the present momment. This present momment is the only momment in which we touch eternity.
It is our relationship with God in this present momment that determines our eternal state, for if we should die in this present momment severed from fellowship with God, we would end up in hell. If we die in this present momment in fellowship with God, we will see heaven.
The past is gone, the future is yet to be. All we have is this present momment.
We are not to worry about the future and end times.
Our own personal end times will come for each and every one of us. We are to be prepared for this, for we don't know if we have another 5 minutnes, another day, another week, month, year, etc . . . .
Being preoccupied with the things of end times and tomorrow deprives us of the grace to live right now in this momment in right relationship with God.
Do not worry or be anxious about this. Do not worry about aquiring knowledge . . .
Concern yourself with seeking God's Face in the present momment. Concern yourself with getting to know God, not knowledge.
May I recommend a book? It is called
The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis. It is one of the most significant books on Christian spirituality and the Chirstian life ever written, if not the most significant.
Please don't stress any more about this.
Peace
