The second coming of Christ assures believers of God's promise to restore all things and unite them with Him eternally.
The second coming of Christ is a pivotal aspect of Christian hope, emphasizing that history is heading toward a definitive end where Christ will return in glory. Revelation 22:20 emphasizes the urgency and certainty of His return with the phrase 'Surely I come quickly.' This hope encourages believers to live in light of eternity, understanding that their labor in Christ is not in vain. Furthermore, it affirms the believer's complete assurance of salvation and eternal life with Him. It invokes a longing in the heart of every believer to see their Savior and be reunited with Him, as highlighted in the promise of Christ receiving His own to Himself (John 14:3).
