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

Answered in 1 source

Being prepared for Christ's return is crucial because not all who claim to know Him will enter the kingdom of heaven.

The necessity of being prepared for Christ's return is emphasized in the parable of the ten virgins, where only those who were prepared, symbolized by having oil, were admitted into the wedding feast. Jesus warns in Matthew 7:21 that not everyone who calls Him 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of His Father. This underscores the truth that mere profession of faith is not enough; one must have the inner reality of Christ in them, demonstrated through the work of the Holy Spirit and genuine faith that leads to obedience.
