James 1:12 says, “Blessed is the man who perseveres under temptation- because when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love Him”.

According to this verse, the one who gets the crown of life is one who loves the Lord and is also consistently faithful in temptation.

So, only those who are consistently faithful in temptation can say that they love the Lord.

So, it is the moments of temptation that your love for the Lord is tested.

We also read there that we will get the crown of life only when we are approved.

Since no individual received the crown of life while on earth, we can be sure God’s approval is not given to anyone until he has finished his life’s course faithfully.

Be faithful day by day. And keep crying out for help. Let there be a cry in your heart all times.

To be continually filled with the Spirit, you must keep a clear conscience by humbling yourself in every situation until that day when you meet your Savior.
