How do we know that Christ's return is imminent?

Answered in 8 sources

While we live in the last days, the exact timing of Christ's return is unknown, and we are instructed to occupy and fulfill His commission until He comes (Acts 1:7, Luke 19:13).

The expectation of Christ's return is a central tenet of Christian faith. While believers are reassured that we are indeed living in the last days, marked by Jesus' first coming, the Scriptures emphasize that no one knows the exact time of His return (Matthew 24:36). The focus is on being active in our faith—occupying until He comes by fulfilling the Great Commission and living in accordance with His teachings. This underscores the call to remain vigilant and faithful, continuously witnessing and serving until the Lord's return.
