My Crowns

Publish date: 11/09/2010

There is more to being a Christian than praying the prayer of salvation and merely ensuring your place in heaven—one day you will stand before the Lord at the Judgment Seat of Christ and all of your works will be tried by fire. How will your use of your time, your talents, your abilities, your gifts, your money, and everything else God has given you, measure up on that day? Those works with eternal purpose will remain through the fire, resulting in eternal crowns and rewards; the remainder will be burned up as wood, hay and stubble, resulting in great loss (1 Corinthians 3:12-15).
 
Salvation is a gift received by faith, but the Bible tells us there are different crowns we can earn based on how we run our race, the motives of our heart and the choices we make. In order to win you have to persist; you have to fight the good fight of faith; you have to keep on running and not give up. The enemy will try to get you to throw in the towel, but if you keep running you will win!
 
This 5-disc CD series encourages believers to live for eternity now, focusing on what the Bible teaches about crowns and rewards that are waiting for us when, on that day, Jesus tells us, “Well done, good and faithful servant… Enter into the joy of your Lord.”
