The crown of righteousness is God's gift to his people, that is, those who rejoice in God's law, obey God's law and obey God (Psalm 1 19), and the fruit of their lives is the salvation of their souls.
Some people also obey God's laws, but they are saved because they are afraid of punishment or obeying God's laws. They are not really happy and praise God's law, but because of fear and trembling. This righteousness is not rewarded. Therefore, Psalm 32:9 says, "Do not be like the ignorant mule or horse, but bridle it with a bridle." : otherwise it can't be tamed. "Therefore, my personal understanding of the righteousness crown is that the righteousness of God's people and their souls have been set free in Christ.
There is the righteousness of God and the righteousness of others. The sinner can't do justice, only the saved can do justice. This is the choice of those who have free will to God, and the choice of those who break with Satan. It is a wonderful praise of man's own creation, and it is extremely glorious to God-as long as we attribute man's righteousness to God's wonderful creation, we are not praising ourselves. Psalm 139: 14 "I want to thank you because my creation is wonderful and terrible;" Your action is wonderful, which I know very well. "Psalm 139:23-24:" God, please examine me, know my thoughts, test me, know my thoughts, see if there is evil in me, and lead me on the road of eternal life. "
Whether you are a believer or a non-believer, as long as you stay in the world, there is no middle ground for every choice you make-either God or Satan. In the kingdom of heaven, God's people will also stand before God's righteous judgment and report what kind of life you have chosen for your only trip on earth-Psalm 73:20 "How can people see their dreams when they wake up?" Lord, when you wake up, you will despise their image. "So Paul said (2 Timothy 4:7-8): I have fought the good battle, I have finished the race, and I have kept my faith. From then on, a crown of righteousness was reserved for me, which was given to me on that day by the Lord who judged righteously. Not only for me, but also for everyone who loves his appearance.
