We know God will gather His people because Scripture assures us of His faithful and sovereign initiative in salvation.
The assurance that God will gather His people is rooted in the promises found in Ezekiel 34 and supported by New Testament reflections like John 10, where Jesus as the good shepherd calls His own by name. God’s sovereignty ensures that He will not lose a single sheep. This gathering is an act of God's grace, emphasizing that it is not dependent on our seeking but rather on God's initiative and power. Throughout Scripture, we see God's relentless pursuit of His people, confirming His commitment to bring them into His fold, where they will be nourished and protected.
