It makes sense that we would have the same mind as the 24 elders and that we too would cast our crowns of glory before the lamb; to say though that we did not merit those crowns and that it's all God, bugs me. "To those who overcome" are glorified. Whatever that 'faith With works' process of overcoming entails - is, in part, our doing it seems. Surely God wants us to have that status, else He would not have bestowed it on us - so why can't we just "humbly" enjoy our crowns, with of course the understanding that were it not for the grace of God, we'd all stay lost?
