Day by day the Lord observes the good deeds done by godly men and gives them eternal rewards.
5 CROWNS OF ETERNAL REWARD
1. CROWN OF LIFE - To those who devote themselves to Jesus Christ
God blesses the people who patiently endure testing. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.
2.THE INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN - For those who lived in a disciplined Christian life
1 Cor. 9:24-27 [24] Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prizes? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. [25] And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable (incorruptible) crown. [26] Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainly. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. [27] Bit I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preach to others, I myself should become disqualified.
3. THE CROWN OF REJOICING / SOUL WINNERS CROWN - for those who directed others to Jesus Christ.
1 Thes. 2:17-20 [17] But we, brethren, having been taken away from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavored more eagerly to see your face with great desire. [18] Therefore we wanted to come to you-even I, Paul, time and again- but Satan hindered us. [19] Foe what is is our hope, or joy , or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? [20] For you are our glory and joy.
4. THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS - to those who lived with determined faith in Christ.
2 Tim 4:6-9 [6] As for me, my life has already been poured out as an offering to God. The time of my death is near. [7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, and I remained faithful. [8] And now the prize awaits me-the crown of righteous judge, will give me on that great day of His return. And the prize is not just for me but for all who eagerly look forward to His glorious return. Please come as soon as you can.
5. CROWN OF GLORY (PASTOR'S CROWN) - for those dedicated to supporting God's dedicated men and women.
[1] As fellow elder, this is my appeal to you: [2] Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; [3] nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock; [4] and when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away.
