Walk in The Lord – Part 5 (final) This lesson continues with the study of our “Walk with the Lord” with part five and it covers our rewards or “Crowns.” This is not to be confused with salvation, which is a free gift to all who believe in Jesus Christ as our only Saviour. Rather , our rewards are for our walk or service in this life and we will appear before the Bema Seat (not the great white throne) one day to be judged as to our service in this life. Paul tells us in the letter to the Colossians in 3:23-24 (KJV) “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” Five different crowns are mentioned in the Bible, and what we must do to receive any one of those crowns. The Apostle Paul spoke of a crown of Righteousness as part of his reward in 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (KJV)“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 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 lesson was given on October 12, 2008 and is the fifth and final lesson in this series.
