Today, we look at the reward of trials. The reward for the believer who does not collapse under trials is eternal life. "Once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life." (James 1: 12) The words "crown of life" could have been translated as "crown which is life." The crown is eternal life, which God has promised to those who love Him. While we presently experience some benefits, we are still waiting to enter into the fullness of our future reward. When the Lord returns, He will grant to us the fullness of eternal life. Do you ever think that one day all your labor will be over and you will spend eternity in joyful contentment? While trials may be difficult and times challenging, we need to keep our eyes on the Lord Jesus Christ. He will see us through and we will persevere until the end. Then, the crown will be waiting. Thank Him today for the gospel that saves you.
