Why is the anticipation of Christ's return important for Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

The anticipation of Christ's return instills hope and motivation for Christians to live faithfully, as it reminds us of God's promises and the ultimate fulfillment of His plan.

Anticipating Christ's return is vital for Christians as it serves as a reminder of the hope we have in our salvation. This expectation is rooted in the understanding that Jesus will come again to judge the world with righteousness (Psalm 96:13). The promise of His return compels believers to live in light of eternity, recognizing that our actions should reflect our faith in the coming King. The assurance of His second coming not only encourages perseverance in trials but also fuels the worship and glory due to His name, reminding us of the joy found in our relationship with Him. The desire for His return, expressed in prayers like 'Even so, come, Lord Jesus,' underscores the believer's longing for fulfillment of God's ultimate plan.
