One Saint is a place of crowns. We are witness to many, many Crowns of Life as persecution continues around the world. We suffer and pray in His name. Jack Kelley has wonderful insight into the crowns found throughout scripture.
Please read his wonderful work, Crown Him With Many Crowns, A Bible Study by Jack Kelley, for illuminating insight into the matter of crowns.
"This verse from the old hymn obviously refers to the Lord in His position as King of Kings. But did you know that you may also receive multiple crowns? There are five types of crowns mentioned in the New Testament that will be given to qualifying believers immediately after the Rapture. These crowns are identified as the Everlasting Crown (Victory) in 1 Cor 9:25, the Crown of the Soul Winner in Phil 4:1 and 1 Thes 2:19, the Crown of Righteousness in 2 Tim 4:8, the Crown of Life in Jas 1:12 and Rev 2:10, and the Crown of Glory in 1 Peter 5:4."
