How do we know Christ's return is real?

The assurance of Christ's return is rooted in Scripture where God has promised it throughout various texts. Peter asserts that just as God created the world and governs it, He will fulfill His promise of return. Despite the scoffers questioning this promise, the reality is grounded in God's faithfulness and sovereignty. The return of Christ will occur at the perfect time, aligning with God's redemptive plan to gather His elect—those whom He has chosen for salvation. This promise encourages believers to look forward with hope to the fulfillment of their redemption.
