What does it mean to eagerly wait for Christ?

Answered in 1 source

Eagerly waiting for Christ means actively anticipating His return with an attitude of hope and readiness.

Eager waiting for Christ, as indicated in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, is characterized by an 'intensely repetitious expectancy.' This means we are not idly sitting by, but actively living in a manner that reflects our hope in Christ's return. This attitude influences our actions, attitudes, and prayers, as we trust in His promise and live out our faith in community. Waiting is not passivity; it is an engagement with God's sovereignty while navigating life's challenges, as we look forward to the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan when Christ returns to take us home.
