  • James 1:12 (NASB) “BLESSED is a MAN who PERSEVERES under TRIAL; for once he has been APPROVED, he will RECEIVE the CROWN OF LIFE which the LORD has PROMISED to those who LOVE HIM.”

QUOTES 

  • QUOTE FROM CHARLES SPURGEON [1834-1892]: There are no CROWN-WEARERS in Heaven who were not CROSS-BEARERS here below.”
  • QUOTE FROM DR. DONALD GRAY BARNHOUSE [1895-1960]: “Let us live, then, in the light of eternity. If we do not, we are weighting the scales against our eternal welfare. We must understand that “what- soever a man soweth” must be taken in its widest meaning, and that every thought and intent of the heart will come under the scrutiny of the Lord and His coming. We can be sure that at the Judgment Seat of Christ there will be a marked difference between the Christian who has lived his life before the Lord, clearly discerning what was for the glory of God, and another Christian who was saved in a rescue mission at the tag end of a depraved and vicious life, or a nominal Christian saved on his deathbed after a life of self-pride, self-righteousness, self-love, and self-sufficiency. All will be in heaven, but the differences will be eternal. We may be sure that the consequences of our character will survive the grave and that we shall face those consequences at the Judgment Seat of Christ.” – Quote by Donald Gray Barnhouse (Pastor, Preacher, Radio Pioneer, Theologian, Christian Author. As SO4J-TV’s Pastor John MacArthur says: “Donald Barnhouse was a great Theologian and a great Preacher in the Reformed tradition and expositor of Scripture.”) – This above quote is an excerpt from Randy Alcorn’s excellent Book: “Money, Possessions, and Eternity.”

Rewards Are For Those Who Win the Race & Overcome - SO4J-TV & Videos - SO4J.com
  • Philippians 3:12-14 “I PRESS ON to Possess that PERFECTION for which CHRIST JESUS first possessed me. No, Dear Brothers & Sisters, I have Not Achieved it, but I FOCUS on this one thing: FORGETTING the PAST and Looking FORWARD to what lies ahead, I PRESS ON to reach the END OF THE RACE and Receive the HEAVENLY PRIZE for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”

Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I DISCIPLINE my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have PREACHED TO OTHERS, I myself should become DISQUALIFIED.”
  • 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NKJV) “Therefore we DO NOT LOSE HEART. Even though our OUTWARD MAN is PERISHING, yet the INWARD MAN is being RENEWED DAY by DAY.

For the things which are SEEN are TEMPORARY, but the things which are NOT SEEN are ETERNAL.”
