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
“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, but has passed out of death into life.”
John 3:17-18 NASB
“For 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 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗱; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
Romans 8:1 NASB
“Therefore there is now 𝗻𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 at all for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 5:16 NASB
“The 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, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.”
Does this sound even remotely that believers have anything to fear from God at judgment time??
Romans 8:28-39 NASB
“And 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, 𝗛𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱; and these whom He justified, 𝗛𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱. [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] 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗱’𝘀 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁? 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝘀; [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] 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? [36] Just as it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” [37] But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. [38] For I am convinced that 𝗻𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵, 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 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱.”
Below is even more assurance.
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 NASB
“For 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗯𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁, [10] who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, 𝘄𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗶𝗺. [11] Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.”
Look
“1 Peter 1:3-5 NASB
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, [4] to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable, undefiled, and will not fade away, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂, [5] 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲.”
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 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 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 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 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 𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 each according to his works.
Notice… “reward.” 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.
John 5:24 NASB
“Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, but has passed out of death into life.”
John 3:17-18 NASB
“For 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 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗱; the one who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
