God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
--- James 1:12
The crown of life is like the victory wreath given to winning athletes (see 1 Corinthians 9:25). God’s crown of life is not glory and honor here on earth but the reward of eternal life---living with God forever. The way to be in God’s winners’ circle is by loving him and staying faithful even under pressure.
