I believe that I do not have to fear the judgment throne of God. I believe that my salvation is assured, and I am eternally secure in Christ. I come to the throne of grace boldly, and I await his second coming or the time that is set for me to go be with him.

John 5:24 NASB
โ€œTruly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜, but has passed out of death into life.โ€

John 3:17-18 NASB
โ€œFor God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him. [18] The one who believes in Him ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐—ฑ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ฑ; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.โ€

Romans 8:1 NASB
โ€œTherefore there is now ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.โ€

Romans 5:16 NASB
โ€œThe gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one offense, resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป.โ€

Does this sound even remotely that believers have anything to fear from God at judgment time??

Romans 8:28-39 NASB
โ€œAnd we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. [29] For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters; [30] and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, ๐—›๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€๐—ผ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ; and these whom He justified, ๐—›๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜€๐—ผ ๐—ด๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ. [31] What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? [32] He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? [33] ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ผ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜ ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜? ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ผ ๐—ท๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€; [34] who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. [35] ๐—ช๐—ต๐—ผ ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? [36] Just as it is written: โ€œFor Your sake we are killed all day long; We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.โ€ [37] But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. [38] For I am convinced that ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ต, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, [39] nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—น๐—น ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—บ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—š๐—ผ๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—Ÿ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ.โ€

Below is even more assurance.

1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 NASB

Look

โ€œ1 Peter 1:3-5 NASB

We believers will be judged only for rewards.

2 Corinthians 5:10 NASB
"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป for his deeds done through the body, in accordance with what he has done, whether good or bad."

Psalm 62:12 NASB
"And faithfulness is Yours, Lord, For You ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ a person according to his work."

Ephesians 6:7-8 NASB
"With goodwill render service, as to the Lord, and not to people, [8] knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive this back from the Lord, whether slave or free."

Matthew 16:27 NKJV
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ each according to his works.

Noticeโ€ฆ โ€œreward.โ€ We believers will not be judged for our eternal place, as we are in Christ. We will only be judged for our rewards, which we will likely give back to Jesus by sitting them at his feet.
