James 1:12 - Additional Comments

Memorize this verse. When tempted, repeat it. What a grand thing to know that when tempted, when we make the proper choice of righteousness, we are blessed!
Since no one always endures temptation, this may likely be talking about having "the crown of life" while on the earth. This may be a promise for the life God gives us now.
