The Reward of a Crown

Program Description

The New Testament speaks of the believers receiving crowns a total of six times. (In another two instances crowns are referred to in a mostly metaphorical way.) In each of these instances, the crown is a reward earned as a result of faithfully following and serving Christ (e.g., 2 Tim. 4:7-8). In the New Testament, crowns are never given simply as a free gift of grace.

So in this shortcast, we briefly look at each case in the New Testament of believers being rewarded with crowns, to illustrate the principle that we must one day give an answer to the Lord for how we lived our Christian life (2 Cor. 5:10).
