I am often asked whether Christians will experience judgement for their sins. Mainly, people ask this when they run into this Bible passage:

"For we must ALL appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." (2 Corinthians 5:10)

A most common view is that, while Christians will undergo a first round of judgment and barely squeak by, they will then need to be judged a second time for their sins and good deeds in order to determine what "level" or "experience" of Heaven they enjoy.

I don't see that in the Bible, and I don't teach that. (Remember the parable of the vineyard workers. They all got paid the same!)

In 2 Corinthians 5:10, I believe "all" means all humans, not just Christians. And when all humans appear at this judgment seat (once, not twice!) there is a very different outcome for believers and unbelievers. In this short video clip, I explain further.

I hope this is an encouragement to you today as your remember that God's perfect love casts out fear, and the truth always sets us free!
