In times like these it would be very easy to fall prey to fear but...
2 Pet.1:3-10
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness
through the knowledge of Him who called us by His owna glory and excellence.
4Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises,
so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature,
now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue;
and to virtue, knowledge;
6and to knowledge, self-control;
and to self-control, perseverance;
and to perseverance, godliness;
7and to godliness, brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness, love.
8For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them,
they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive
in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness,
having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure.
For if you practice these things you will never stumble,
11and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
These are dark days of doubting God
Of lack of fear and reverence
For He, who through His own shed blood
Purchased mankind's deliverance
From death and hell; sin's penalty
That only Jesus justifies
He alone sets captive souls free
And fits us for Redemption's Prize
The glory of God, kind and true
Holy, faithful, and rich in love
He helps us love each other too
When days are dark with doubt and dread
And evil's bold and blinded boast
Mocks or disregards the Godhead
Of Father, Son and Holy Ghost
These are dark days of unbelief
In our Lord's glorious return
When He will triumph over grief
And pain; when this old world will burn
And Faith will will behold all things new
No suffering or forecasts grim
As He who IS Faithful and True
Unfurls eternity with Him

Rev.21:1-8
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away.
Also there was no more sea.
from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying,
“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and He will dwell with them,
and they shall be His people.
God Himself will be with them and be their God.
4And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes;
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
There shall be no more pain,
for the former things have passed away.”
5Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.”
And He said [b]to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
6And He said to me, “It[c] is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7He who overcomes [d]shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8But the cowardly, [e]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
If it were not so I would have told you!
