Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. Matthew 6:2. But the righteous live forevermore; their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the Most High. Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord; for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his arm he will protect them. Wisdom of Solomon 5:16-17.

For this crown, faith strives. And because this faith justifies, it makes the world say, well I also believe; but where is their conflict and conquest? It is answered, I rely on Christ and grace; but Canaan was also a free gift of grace, and yet it was not taken without conflicts. And moreover, as worldly people, are not acquainted with the wickedness of their hearts, they do not trust alone upon grace, but upon their outward form, self-love and pride reigning in their hearts.

No works nor duties of your own,
Can for the smallest sins atone:
The robes that nature may provide,
Will not your least pollutions hide.

Ye sons of pride, that kindle coals
With your own hands, to warm your souls,
Walk in the light of your own fire,
Enjoy the sparks that ye desire.

This is your portion at my hands,
Hell waits you with her iron bands;
You shall lie down in sorrow there,
In death, in darkness, and despair.
