Inspiring Bible Verses
2 Timothy 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Revelation 2:10 Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

Merry Christmas, Lucian!
(I think it is Christmas there in Romania by now. Darn close anyway.)
:-)
Don't forget about Phil. 3:12-14:
12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Apparently Paul was the only one whose salvation actually wasn't instantaneous. Only he was such a sinner as to have to work towards it.
John
