The certainty of Christ's return is assured through Scripture, which teaches us that He will come again for His people (1 Thessalonians 5:9).
The Bible proclaims the certainty of Christ's return as a key doctrine of the Christian faith. In 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Paul reassures believers that God has not appointed them to wrath, but has appointed them to salvation in Christ. This promise of return is reinforced in passages indicating that Jesus Himself affirmed His return to gather His followers (John 14:3). For believers, the anticipation of Christ's return should serve as both a comfort and a motivation to live godly lives, expecting His glorious appearing. This hope is foundational to Christian faith and encourages us to remain steadfast in our pursuit of holiness while looking forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.
