How do we know Jesus's promises about His return are true?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus promises His return in Scripture, and His resurrection assures us of this certainty (Revelation 1:7).
The certainty of Christ's return is firmly rooted in His own promises made during His earthly ministry and reinforced through the prophetic Scriptures. Revelation 1:7 states, 'Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him.' This prophesy reflects the assurance that just as Christ ascended into the heavens, He will return in glory, as testified by the angelic beings in Acts 1:11. Additionally, His resurrection serves as the foundation for this promise, proving that He has power over death and is able to fulfill all that He has spoken. Believers put their hope in the truth of His word, knowing that His past faithfulness guarantees His future promises.
