2 Timothy 4:8
..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.
Wearing a crown of righteousness is Christ's reward for all believers being
faithful unto the Him and His holiness while spreading the gospel message. Wearing
a crown of righteousness, believers will be dressed in golden slippers, white
robes and will have glorified bodies like Christ. Believers' heavenly wardrobe
represents the holiness of our heavenly Father.
Believers have an intense longing for the return of Jesus Christ our Lord
and Savior who redeems all believers from sin and shame to a life of
righteousness. Being redeemed by Jesus all believers will spend eternity with
Him in the New Jerusalem.
Being redeemed by Christ is an expression of His love for humanity and
our faithfulness to Him is our expression of thankfulness for what He has done
and continues to do in the lives of believers.
These questions come to mind, witnessing Christ to others, do we tell the
person of the reward that Christ has reserved for being part of His holy nation
of people. Do we tell the person of Christ's sweet savor of salvation and the
many blessings from being saved?
All believers have a crown of righteousness just waiting for us.
