The Crown that Comes from Within

When we look at the three different types of crowns for the believers mentioned in the New Testament, we see that they are the expression of the divine nature we received when we were born anew in Christ (John 1:12-13, 2 Pet. 1:4). They are the crown of righteousness (1 Tim. 4:8), the crown of life (James 1:12, Rev. 2:10), and the crown of glory (1 Pet. 5:4).

So, in a very real sense, we should experience these crowns today, by allowing the life we received as a seed in the new birth (1 Pet. 1:23) to grow and develop from within us, until others can see us “crowned” with the divine righteousness, the divine life, and the divine glory manifested in our daily living.
