What does it mean to wait for Christ's return?

Answered in 1 source

Waiting for Christ means living in anticipation of His return and assurance of salvation.

To wait for Christ's return is to live in a state of hopeful expectation and faithfulness. As Paul emphasizes in 1 Thessalonians 1:10, believers are called to wait for God's Son from heaven, which signifies trust in His promises and confidence in the certainty of His return. This waiting involves both a spiritual preparation and an active engagement in the work of the gospel, serving Him in our current circumstances while eagerly looking forward to His glorious coming. It is a reminder to remain steadfast in faith and to encourage one another as we anticipate His deliverance.
