Notice the bold vertical line ( |) at the end of Acts 12 and beginning of Acts 13 which Jensen estimates to be about year 47 (it could be a short time prior). THE EXPANDING WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT-EMPOWERED CHURCHĬonsidering the fact that Acts 13 is such a strategic chapter in regard to world evangelism, take a moment and study Irving Jensen's chart at top of the page (click it to enlarge it which is what I have to do at age 72!). It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work.ġCo 3:14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward.ġCo 3:15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved-even though only as one escaping through the flames.Chart from Jensen's Survey of the NT - used by permission But each one should build with care.ġCo 3:11 For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.ġCo 3:12 If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw,ġCo 3:13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. (Every believer in Christ should be in the race to receive one or all of these 5 Crowns).ġCo 3:10 By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it.
The “Crown of Rejoicing.” (Soul Winning Crown)ġTh 2:19 For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?ġTh 2:20 Indeed, you are our glory and joy. The “Crown of Righteousness.” (Those who Love his Appearing)ĢTi 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Be loyally faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.ġPe 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.ġPe 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,ġPe 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,ġPe 1:5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Behold, the devil is indeed about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested and proved and critically appraised, and for ten days you will have affliction. Rev 2:10 Fear nothing that you are about to suffer. I do not box like one beating the air and striking without an adversary.ġCo 9:27 But I buffet my body and subdue it, for fear that after proclaiming to others the Gospel and things pertaining to it, I myself should become unfit. They do it to win a wreath that will soon wither, but we that cannot wither.ġCo 9:26 Therefore I do not run uncertainly (without definite aim). The “Incorruptible Crown.” (The Victor’s Crown)ġCo 9:25 Now every athlete who goes into training conducts himself temperately and restricts himself in all things.
There are 5 Crowns that will be rewarded at the Judgment Seat of Christ, this is the Race that We Should be Running Saints of God, because what we do now will last for eternity.
