Welcome to Crowns of the Believers! In this course you will see that there are spiritual crowns that we, as Christians, can attain to in this life. The Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 9:24-25 says that we are running in a race to obtain an incorruptible crown. Towards the end of Paul’s life after running and finishing his course, he says in II Timothy 4:8, “henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness…” James tells us, “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life” (James 1:12). Peter said to faithful leaders in I Peter 5:4, “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.”

It is important to understand that a crown is something that we need to attain by how we live our lives. We must run and make it happen. Crowns are rewards given to work that has been done. This manual seeks to tell us all the different crowns available in Scripture as rewards.
