Scripture assures us that Christ will return, just as He has promised, to gather His people to Himself.
The assurance of Christ's return is firmly rooted in Scripture. Acts 1:11 recounts the promise given by angels that the same Jesus, who ascended into heaven, will come again in like manner. This promise is echoed in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, which describes that the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, gathering His saints to Him. Throughout biblical history, God has proven faithful to His promises, and the various prophecies fulfilled in Christ's first coming provide a robust foundation for the expectation of His second coming. As such, believers await this blessed hope, living in the light of His return, much like the wise virgins who waited for the bridegroom.
