Summary: Why not be a winner not a looser.

LOOK WHAT GOD HAS FOR US WHO SERVE HIM

Each and every one who does his best for the Lord will have a reward in the end.

We find in the new testament five crowns we can win. This is a promise of our Father.

These crowns show our qualities of accomplishments in our life time.

These will be given at the resurrection.

(1) The incorruptible crown.

1st Corinthians 9: 25And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

This is for self control

Discipline

Maintaining it through their life

(2) The crown of life

1st Thessalonians 2: 19For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

Approved of God

Rightly dividing his word

In our lives

Sharing it with our fellow man.

(3) The crown of rejoicing

2nd Timothy 4: 8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Soul winner’s crown

Shared his word with others

Stood the test

Stayed in the battle

(4) The crown of Glory

James 1: 12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

Received as a leader of Gods people

Sheep feeders

Teaching his word

Preaching his word

(5) The crown of Righteousness

1 Peter 5

1The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

This is for all who except Christ

Born again believers

Those who love his appearing

Those who look for him
