What does crown of life mean in the bible




















I repent from my sins and I ask for Your forgiveness. You may also want to renounce any association with black magic — witchcraft, and practice of buddhism and ask God to deliver you from any demons that might be oppressing you, and ask God to break and remove any curses that was put on you and in your life. Ask God to wash you in the blood of Jesus and to renew your mind, to the mind of Christ Jesus. You may also want to forgive your father for having practiced this black magic on you.

Bless him also. And finish your prayer, by thanking our Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen — Be blessed!!!! Thank you I thought after what happened to me that my father doing black magic and some Buddhist culture believing in the devil. In my past culture Buddhist would offer food to the spirits, the spirits can consume the essence of the food but can never be satisfied.

The djinn were created from God so that man would worship him. The djinn lived on earth way before we came along. When I was 4 years old I had a dream that this demonic looking humanoid with blood red hair was after me. Recently I just googled Thailand djinn and a picture of a djinn with blood red hair was in the image online. But I studied a little bit about Buddha and he never did black magic. I think the Buddhist community is hiding there true intention. I see shadows moving which they can cast shadows.

When I had black magic cast on me I can feel a heavy feeling on top of my head. The djinn worships satan. One night I heard growling in he house and my dog was upstairs my wife said he didnt growl. I read somewhere that a reverend name spurgeon said if you hear the Devils growl that means your in gods presence, and that something good is gonna happen for you to piss off the devil. I told my friend who was Buddhist and he never talks about anything about Christianity.

I found out that the inverted cross is St. I got got baptized under St. What a coincidence. Thanks for reading my message again I hope I can change a lot of lives if the word gets out.

Hey I saw the comment you made about the prophetic above and saw it as very negative. The Bible says to eagerly desire the gifts of the spirit especially the gift of prophecy. That said NT prophecy should be strengthening, encouraging and comforting: It should also reflect what is said in the Bible.

To the person who heard that word of wisdom as with all words of prophecy I would encourage you to bring it to God and see what he says- sometimes people get things wrong but also sometimes the words given can be about events not now but to come. Thank you! Of course when it comes to hearing from God in this way there is so much room for human error so you do need to weigh everything up and ask God to help you discern what is from him.

Instead of coming off of a less positive view of the word I could see it as being encouraging, especially in a small group setting. Thank you for clarifying. I think there was a misunderstanding. I have no relation to what he wrote. Have d blessed day! Great commentary! The Crown of Life is special reward for a special act of service and dedication to the King.

For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy. A Profit prayed for my sister last week and told her not to believe everything the Drs. I would love to better understand what this means. Can anyone explain? It means nothing. Tell your sister to ignore what this prophet said and to go see the Doctors.

There are a lot of people out there who pass themselves off as men of God, but who are really just trying to take control and take your money which call a donation or a tithe. I could be wrong but I think about what the crown stephanos represents rather than the crown itself.

That is , the crown or wreath is the winners crown, it represents victory. Perhaps the crown of life is an expression meant to represent the victory of life Christ over sin and death. A crown which is offered to the believer as a free gift. My name is Beverly for the past month gone by somethings being happening to me an i need answers i went to many churches but got different answer.

Went to a pastor he prayed for me an rest his hand on my head an say to remove the devil crown off my head but my mine is on it all the time. A crown of life is a halo. Nothing to do with laurel wreaths which fade and wither.

They are made of golden light and are donated by God himself during a state of apotheosis. I got mine in Sure wish there was more to your description of the crown of life.

My confirmation verse was Rev. Until moments ago I did not recognize the correlation between the verse given May and the events of 24 years later. The catastrophic event did include a very traumatic spiritual confrontation with death. Some really deep posts here to think about. Jeremy as usual you bring scripture in a form which we all can understand.

Thank you for that. Words of knowledge must never go against scripture, if they do they are wrong and deceptive. Importantly when God the Holy Spirit speaks quietly to us it will be with love and affection. God has given his wisdom to man even if they dont acknowledge it including Doctors, so dont be fooled if your sick ask for prayer but go to your Doctor to.

Eternal life is a free gift, any crown of life seems to me coms from following Christ where he want us to go ie to other people and their situations delivering His grace and mercy. Including standing firm against deeds of darkness. I am not sure there is any quantity or measure but rather its a state of our hearts and wilingness to follow. Neveille could well be correct here also not sure as yet need to chew on it its a crown representing what Christ has achieved for his creation reconciling it back to God.

We celebrate Christ by following Him. Family in Jesus, please be comforted in the knowledge God will never speak to you something contrary to the teaching of the Bible. Please hold fast and cling to Jesus above experiences, impressions and even prophetic words.

We depend on Jesus alone for all things, including the ability to endure and suffer well as we anticipate His smile when He rewards us with a crown.

Let the Bible be your guide. I am frightened about the second judgment! On the one hand, some people say that if you believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead you will never perish but have eternal life. The state of such will be a happy one, a desirable one.

The word blessed does not, of course, always suggest a happy condition as relates to the feelings, or emotions, but rather as relates to the outcome. It is used here in connection with the results of trial to the Christian. The child of God who wins the crown of life will be very highly favored or blessed of God; then whatever conduces to this end is a very great blessing, even though it cause much pain to the flesh.

Who will gain this crown of life? Of what character will he be? The Scriptures declare that it will be that man or that woman who endures temptation, trial. What is signified by enduring temptation? Evidently the thought is not the enduring of one temptation for one time or for many times. Even the world must endure trials. The reference is to the retaining permanently of the attitude of patient endurance and faithfulness when tempted, of remaining true to God under temptation and stress.

Temptations come from a variety of sources. They may come from friends, who may tempt us to live a life of more or less self-indulgence, to relax in a measure our fidelity to the Lord. The enticements of wealth or worldly society, a natural love of ease and disinclination of the flesh to endure hardness—any or all of these may prove strong and subtle temptations to the Christian.

But if we love the Lord supremely, that love will become the chief impulse of our lives. Our one aim will be that we may glorify God in our spirit and in our body. We know that there are things which are displeasing to God, and if we love Him we will seek to keep His commandments.

The child of God might fail once, or he might fail repeatedly along the same line, until in deep humiliation and anguish of soul because of his continued manifestation of the same weakness, he would be led to cry out with strong crying and tears to the Lord; and his pain and distress of heart might so impress upon him his need of greater watchfulness along that line that he would become strengthened for further attacks of the same nature, and thus be enabled to gain the victory over his besetment, his special weakness.

While we shall never reach the point of perfection in the flesh, nevertheless this power to endure temptation should become more marked day by day, as the New Creature remains loyal, still resisting and striving still harder to resist and be true to the Lord in thought and word and deed. Blessed is the man who shall endure—time after time, day after day—thus proving his faithfulness and obedience to God. It is the crown of glory because it is the reward which brings glory, honor, immortality.

In the Grecian games certain rewards were given to those who endured successfully the trial of their skill, of their prowess and of their physical endurance. The reward given was usually a crown or wreath of laurel. That crown was valuable, not so much in itself, but especially as an outward token of appreciation of superior merit. The Lord is to give us life in fullest measure.

The penalty that came upon our race because of sin was death; but now there is an opportunity to regain life—life in perfection, untainted, unending. This life is in the Son of God. At the present time life can be gained only by being begotten to the spirit nature. This is to be the reward of the class called in Scripture the Bride of Christ , when they shall have demonstrated their faithfulness, when they shall have been proven worthy to be members of that exalted class.

There will be a crown of life in the next Age — perfect human life —as the result of obedience to the tests and trials of that time. These tests will differ in many respects from the trials and difficulties of the Church at the present time. They will be much less crucial ; for then temptations to sin from without will be removed, and bodily and mental uplifting and assistance granted, which will make their trial a more favorable one. Righteousness, too, will immediately be rewarded in that Day, and sin and disobedience of every kind will be promptly punished.

But now righteousness often brings suffering, reproach, pain and loss , from the human standpoint; while sin often brings present advantage, popularity and pleasure to the flesh. The three crowns in heaven that the redeemed may acquire are the: crown of righteousness, crown of glory crown of life.

The crown of life is the most significant one to study in conjunction with our raging controversy regarding the believer's security because of its usage in Rev. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death. Henry Allen Ironside in the booklet, "Eternal Security," published by Loizeaux Brothers: A crown of life is not salvation; it is reward. There are five crowns I might lose all of those crowns and yet not lose my salvation. The Word says, 'If any man's work shall be burned But I do not want to be saved that way. I want to win the crown of life. See also Jn.
