Why is it important for Christians to be ready for Jesus' return?

Answered in 1 source

Being ready for Jesus' return is crucial because it reflects our faith in His promises and prepares us for eternal life with Him.

The importance of readiness lies in the nature of our relationship with Christ and the hope of eternal life. In 1 John 2:28, we learn that abiding in Him allows us to have confidence at His coming, instead of shame. This readiness is a sign of our faith, illustrating that we trust in Christ's work for our salvation. Moreover, it encourages us to live a life of holiness and devotion while we await His return. Ultimately, readiness is about our desire to be united with Christ now and eternally, fully trusting in His redemptive work and looking forward to the joy of His second coming.
