Who can get the righteous judge?

[June]

Timothy 4:7-4:8 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: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.

This sentence is my favorite , it has encouraged me to pursue the Lord. My understanding is very shallow, Also I hope brothers and sisters can talk more about these words to make me closer to God.

Paul was awaiting execution at the time. He was saying his work on earth was done and he finished the race. He kept faith and followed Christ right up to the end and he knew he was going to receive his crown in heaven when he died. And we all will receive the crown if we keep faith and run the race as Christ instructed.

Thank you very much!All of us need keep faith……But why only after death we can get the crown?
