The Rewards & Crows we work for after receiving Salvation

By; Rev. George Pryor M. Th.

 

The bible tells us that salvation is a gift of the Grace of God and there is nothing we can do to qualify for it but to accept Jesus as Savior(Eph. 2:8-9) “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast”

 

‘ The bible also tells us that there are rewards that can be earned as a result of our works if they are good and righteous ones. And no gain if they are not (1 Cor. 3: 13-15) “ Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved;” The bible again tells us that there are 6 crown rewards that can be earned by certain individuals, that will be awarded in Heaven. They are as follows:

They are in no particular order of importance, just in the chronological order that they appear in Scripture

 

1. the Incorruptible crown. This one is for all those that live and die in Christ. It will be received at the Second coming of Jesus to receive His bride(the church)

as He prepares us to inhabit heaven. (1 Cor 9:25, 15: 51-54))

2. the crown of Rejoicing This is also known as the soul winners crown for those that obeyed (Matt 28:19) (1 Thess. 2:19)

 

3. the crown of Righteousness This one is available to all believers if the condition is met. (II Tim. 4:8)

 

4. the crown of Life This one is for all that stand fast and be victorious through trials and temptations to the end. (Js. 1:12 )

 

5. the Shepherds crown. Also referred to as the crown of Glory and is only available to the Shepherds that pleased God in their leadership. (1 Pet 5:2-4)

 

6. the Martyrs crown. This one is available to all but only given to those that gave their life for the testimony of Christ. ( Rev. 2:10)
