[terryt]

2Corinthians 5:10
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."

This a judgment for works done while in the flesh. Also 1 Corinthians 3:11-15. This judgment is reward or loss but does not affect our eternal reward of eternal life with Jesus.

Some crowns I remember are Crown of Life, Crown of Glory, Crown of Righteousness. I will look them up and post what I find.

Crown of Life

James 1:12
"12) Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

Also 1 Corinthians 9:25 and Revelation 2:10.

Crown of Glory

1Peter 5:1-4

"2) Shepard 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 Shepard appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away."

This is called the Pastor's crown. Read these verses and compare them to some of our religious leaders today or in history.


Crown of Refoicing

1 Thessalonians 2:19-20

"19) For what 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?"

They call this crown the soul winners crown, given to those who lead others to Christ.


Crown of Righteousness

2Timothy 4:8

"8) Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing."


The Imperishable Crown or the Crown Incorruptible

This crown is for those who do not yield to fleshly lusts, who " discipling their body and bring it into subjection" 1Corinthians 9:25-27
