Scripture Post #902: *CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*

2nd Timothy 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8 Henceforth 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.

This Scripture was from Apostle Paul, unto Timothy, his son in the faith (1st Tim. 1:1-2).

The Apostle Paul made many, many sacrifices for the LORD. He faced great tragedy and suffered persecution repeatedly. He knew he'd be rewarded with a *CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS*. Paul's not alone in his reward from the LORD. Paul stated that he wouldn't be the only one rewarded from GOD, but that GOD rewards all those that love HIS appearing: "…not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

JESUS said: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." - Rev. 2:10
