Why must Christ return according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Christ must return to judge the living and the dead and to fulfill His promise of rewarding His people.

Christ's return is an integral part of the biblical narrative and is assured by His words in Matthew 16:27, where He states that 'the Son of Man shall come in the glory of His Father' to reward each according to their works. This future event signifies the completion of God's redemptive plan and serves as a promise of justice for believers and retribution for the unrepentant. Revelation 20:11-15 depicts the final judgment, reinforcing that all will stand before God, with the faithful receiving eternal life while those not found in the book of life face condemnation. Christ's return is, therefore, not only a doctrine of hope for believers but also a divine guarantee of accountability and justice.
