"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him."
The Bible says that God will bless the man who has perseveres under trial. To the man that continues to walk with God, the Lord will reward him with the blessings of life.
The crown is life because the crown consists of life.
Going through a season of trials in life is not easy, but to the person who constantly asked the Lord for wisdom to see the benefits of it, the Lord will give the person the right attitude to go through it and then bless the person after he has endured them.
The Lord is a good God. To the one who seeks God, the prove of his love would be seen in the way the person endures tough times.
The crown of life here refers to the eternal life that is promised to all believers through the enabling of God's Spirit and could also refer to the full life here now on earth as said in v4.
Important Note :
I have chosen based on my study from 'The Bible Knowledge Commentary' by John F.Walvoord and Roy B.Zack and selectively re-typed some of the more important parts, together with some of my own additional explanation to make this study simpler to digest and understand. My re-phrasing does not show a different meaning to what was originally written.
