3. The Crown of Rejoicing: 1 Thessalonians 2:19–20; Philippians 4:1
This is frequently called the soul winner’s crown. It is awarded to those that lead others to Christ

4. The Crown of Righteousness: 2 Tim. 4:8
This crown is awarded to those who are taken in the prewrath rapture because they have been obedient in eagerly watching for their Lordand living righteously.

5. The Incorruptible Crown: 1 Corinthians 9:25–27
This is also called the victor’s crown. It is awarded to those who live overcoming, victorious Christian lives.

E. Other rewards mentioned in scripture
The crowns are just some of the rewards available to those that are zealous of righteous works for the Lord. They also get:

1. To be with Christ: John 14:3; 1 Thessalonians 4:17

2. To behold His glory: Psalms 17:15; John 17:24; 2 Corinthians 4:6

3. To be glorified with Christ: Romans 8:17–18

4. To reign with Christ: 2 Timothy 2:12; Matthew 25:20–23; Luke 19:12–19

5. To shine as the stars: Daniel 12:3

F. Loss of rewards
The possibility of these glorious rewards should spur us to work the works of God in this life. Another thing that may make us live very carefully is the possibility of the loss of all these things through evil works. The Bible tells us that many will appear before the Lord with nothing to offer. They will be naked and ashamed in His presence and before all the rest of the righteous.

1 John 2:28; Revelation 3:15–18; Revelation 16:15
