“Who falls for love of God, shall rise a star.” -Ben Jonson

God has a special place for His martyrs. He has a special glory stored up for them in heaven: the Bible calls it a “Crown of Life.”

“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” -Revelation 2:10

And not only that, but as the quote at the top of the page indicates, we will shine as stars in heaven forever!

The Evening Star, Frederick Edwin Church (1859)

“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” -Daniel 12:3
