It's the "prize" or "reward" Jesus speaks of constantly. Through Him comes salvation and eternal life through faith in Him. But He also speaks of a "reward." A reward is "earned" through work and effort. The greater the work, the greater the reward, as illustrated in the parable of the talents and pounds.

Jesus will reward His saints with "crowns of authority and rulership" over the nations when He returns:

"...thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood... and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and WE SHALL REIGN ON THE EARTH." (Rev.5:9-10)

Jesus will reward each of His saints with varying degrees of power and authority, according to their accomplishments "in Him" during their lives.

These are the "many crowns" He symbolically wears in descriptions of Him.

"...His eyes were as a flame of fire, and ON HIS HEAD WERE MANY CROWNS..." (Rev.19:12).

The "Crown of Life" is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ, and the reward He will bestow upon each saint, according to their works, who shall jointly rule the Kingdom of God with Him for a thousand years.
