Life of Virtue & Righteousness (14)
Pope Shenouda III
Crown Rewards for the Life of Virtue & Righteousness
Life of virtue and righteousness is one of struggling against the self, the world and material things, and against Satan. Those who overcome will receive crowns in eternity. The Lord Christ, in His messages to the seven churches in Asia, says to the angel of the Church in Philadelphia, "Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown." (Rev 3: 11)
