Finishing the Race

There seems to be a good amount of confusion regarding salvation and the rewards that may result from it, for the believer. Many read parts of Scripture and believe it to be saying that if we don't finish the race, we do not end up with salvation. Is this true? Is this what the Bible means? Author, teacher and speaker Fred DeRuvo shines the light on this extremely valuable and important subject. He tackles salvation and then moves into areas of rewards for the believer. The Bible lists five different crowns available to the believer. There may be more, but we know that are five. What are the requirements for gaining each crown? Will all believers receive the same crowns (beyond salvation; the crown of life)?

Dr. Fred DeRuvo is the author of numerous articles and a growing number of books related to religious studies. Fred received his Bachelor's degree from Philadelphia College of Bible (now Philadelphia Biblical University), and his Masters from Tyndale Theological Seminary. Fred is also ordained and has his Th.D. from Northwestern Theological Seminary in Florida. He also enjoys the hobby of building and painting model kits and riding his Suzuki Marauder 1600cc. Fred is also involved in jail ministry as a volunteer chaplain. He endeavors to share the good news of Christ's life, death and resurrection, which was the fully accepted atonement for sinful humanity, in order that we might become God's adopted children.
