What Is The Crown Of Life?

Q. Of the 5 crowns mentioned as rewards to be earned, what exactly is The Crown of Life, and to what does it refer?

A. The five crowns are identified as the Everlasting Crown (Victory) in 1 Cor 9:25, Crown of the Soul Winner in Phil 4:1 and 1 Thes 2:19, Crown of Righteousness in 2 Tim 4:8, Crown of Life in Jas 1:12 and Rev 2:10, and the Crown of Glory in 1 Peter 5:4.

These crowns will be awarded to qualifying believers at the Bema Seat judgment that follows the Rapture (1 Cor. 3:10-15).  The Crown of Life is for those believers who remain faithful to the Gospel even under persecution.  (James 1:12).
