Bible Question: Are the crowns that we will cast at Jesus feet, actual crowns or metaphorical ones? |
Bible Answer: Randy Alcorn states: At least five different crowns are given as heavenly rewards: the crown of life (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10), the incorruptible crown (1 Cor. 9:24, 25), crown of rejoicing (1 Thes. 2:19; Phil. 4:1), crown of glory (1 Pet. 5:1-4), and crown of righteousness (2 Tim. 4:6-8). The crowns may relate to positions of ruling in heaven (Luke 19:17; Rev. 2:26-28), but in any case they are lasting reminders of our work on earth, and Christ’s faithfulness in enabling us to do that work. Ultimately these crowns put at Christ’s feet, to recognize him (Rev. 4:10). Our rewards are given not merely for our recognition, but for God’s eternal glory. However, Scripture sees no contradiction whatsoever between God’s eternal glory and our eternal good. http://www.epm.org/resources/2010/Feb/4/what-does-bible-say-about-heaven/ |
