How do we know that being prepared for Christ's return is essential?

Answered in 1 source

Being prepared for Christ's return is essential as it signals genuine faith and readiness for eternal life.

The necessity of being prepared for Christ's return is underscored in the parable of the ten virgins, where the distinction between those who were prepared and those who were not had eternal consequences. The five wise virgins had the oil, which signifies the Holy Spirit and true faith, while the foolish virgins did not, illustrating that mere outward appearances or affiliations with Christianity are insufficient. To be truly ready, one must have a vibrant relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, evidenced by belief in Him and obedience to His will, as stated in Matthew 24:46, 'Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.'
