C. "Family Pictures" at The Judgment Seat of Christ.
Can you picture with me for a moment, as we stand before Christ in Heaven. Here stand all Christians (His Bride), as he now calls each one to step forward. On one he places this beautiful outer white robe for their dedication and faithfulness to him. Others are left standing with no rewards, as all their works have burned up. They are saved “so as by fire,” as though they had escaped a burning house naked.
Some will step forward to receive one of the five crowns for various acts of faithfulness.
1. A “Crown of Rejoicing,” the Soul Winner’s Crown (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20; Proverbs 11:30-31).
2. A “Crown of Righteousness...” They are looking for Christ’s return (2 Timothy 4:8). 
3. The “Incorruptible Crown,” for living a separated life (1 Corinthians 9:25-27). 
4. A "Crown of Life,” for enduring testings; even being faithful unto death (James 1:12; Revelation 2:10).
5. A “Crown of Glory,” for being faithful in care of the flock, a pastor’s crown (1 Peter 5:1-5).
As a Christian, what kind of robe are you going to be weaving for yourself? 1 Corinthians 15:58 is a promise from the Lord that we will be rewarded for our faithfulness to him.
“Therefore my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is NOT IN VAIN in the Lord.”
May the words of this old song touch our hearts.
“Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face.
And the things of Earth will go strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.”
