How do I know I'm truly saved when end-times fear creeps in?
There's a lot of things right now that's going on in this world that may feel very uncertain and uneasy. We got wars, we got the government stuff going on, and genuinely it feels like the end time. So we are going to go over how to get over that in this episode today. Specifically, we'll be talking about the rapture, whether or not it's biblical. We'll be talking about The Mark of the Beast, the number 666. And towards the end, we're going to talk about what Jesus meant when he said, I don't know the hour that cometh. Welcome to another episode on the Unlearned Wisdom Podcast with yours truly, Pastor Johnny Chang, where each episode is a gospel-centered lesson that you could apply to your life today.

Yep. Figgity facts. So end times, end times. Look, I want to share with you guys something. Early on when I first got saved, legit, I would be scared of whether or not like if God was to come back from the rapture, and like to tell me basically, I never knew you. Like you didn't make it? Yeah, like you didn't make it, but more so, I never knew you, right? Matthew 7, 21 to 23 always put fear in my heart. Not everyone who says, Lord, Lord, shall enter my kingdom, but those who do the will of my Father in heaven. And then he says, I never knew you. So right when I got saved, I would have this peace, like part of my heart was like peaceful, like, yo, I know Jesus is real. I know he made us righteous. I know he made us perfect.
But then the other part would be like, but what if all of this is a lie? Like what if you're not actually saved and you're just like tricking yourself like you did with the gangs and your pseudo family and the drugs and whatever, like what about all of that? And it really put a lot of fear in me for like, I think it lasted like almost two years where I was sitting there and I wasn't sure of my salvation. And a lot of that came from me thinking that I had to maintain my salvation. I noticed this specifically with, baby christians or like new christians they're always thinking that they have to basically maintain their salvation get ready to be prepared and then they read verses like i did i would read verses like you have to overcome and those who endure till the end will get to heaven
And then I would argue that, wait, that's not grace then because, yes, he gave it to us, but I have to endure. And it just brought a lot of confusion. And so one day I realized that 1 Corinthians 14 said that confusion doesn't come from the Lord. He doesn't give us a confusing spirit. He doesn't give us a spirit of fear. All I was feeling for those days was fear and confusion. So the first two years of my walk. wasn't just me being argumentative with Pastor, but more so me trying to convince myself and like going back to Pastor every time I felt really lacking. I felt like I lost my salvation. Until one day it clicked where he said, if you want to confirm your salvation, where should you confirm it?
And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, if you want to confirm that you're saved, where should you confirm it? In your feelings, what you see, or the book? And I was like, dang. And he goes, when you feel like you're not perfected and you feel like you have to do certain things, go to the Bible that says Hebrews 10, 14 and see if it changes, which is my saving verse. You're perfected forever. And that was the unlock that I needed to see. And here was like, man, I'm not actually perfected. I'm struggling not with this idea that I'm not saved. It's just when the enemy comes and tells me that I'm not, I believe his voice more than the word of God. And I didn't know that salvation, that I didn't know the context.
