Fellow Christians, according to scripture, what are the crowns that we may receive?

What are the crowns that we may receive at The Judgment when we stand before Christ. Paul talks about pressing toward the mark, and that there are heavenly crowns, that we may gain. I'd like to know which crowns are mentioned according to scripture, and could you please list where the verses are found in the Bible? Thank you.

Fellow Christians, according to scripture, what are the crowns that we may receive?
1) Incorruptible crown %26lt;I Cor. 9:25-27%26gt;


overcome flesh





2) Life %26lt;Rev. 2:10%26gt;


those who are willing to give their life for Christ.





3) Righteousness %26lt;2 Tim. 4:8%26gt;


look for His coming





4) Glory %26lt;I Peter 5:2-4%26gt;


faithful teachers





5) Rejoicing %26lt;I Thess. 2:19, 20%26gt;


faithful witnesses





And we are told BY THE LORD JESUS to go for the crowns. So for someone to say "it shouldn't be about the crowns", is grossly inaccurate. Jesus said to go for as many crowns as we can, the crowns are so very worth having! :)
Reply:The answer is in the Book Of Revelation as the elders cast crowns before God's throne/ They are for suffering of various kinds that many face in life. The 24 elders set an example of praise and worship in Revelation that gives God the glory for all the efforts we accomplish through. Worthy is the Lamb.


In Revelations 4:4And round about the throne were four and twenty seats(24): and upon the seats I saw four four and twenty elders(24) sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices; and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne,which are the seven Spirits of God. In verse 4:10 the elders worshipped god and cast the crowns at God's feet.


Other passages of the bible tell exactly why the crowns will be given to each suffering believer.


These are in effect some rewards that some fail to understand.
Reply:Romans 8:17 says we can become joint-heirs or co-heirs with Christ.





Define it how you will.
