Okay so, when Christians have to stand before God and give an account for their lives at the Judgement seat will their sins ever come up? It's commonly taught throughout the New and Old Testament that our sins are forgiven when we accept Christ and they do not come across God's mind. Okay so my sins are forgiven and I'm never held responsible for my sins. There is no condemnation for me and for every other Christian who comes to Christ for salvation. That's amazing and what a merciful and wonderful God! Because, I've committed MANY sins in my life and continue to commit many sins to this day and will until the day I die. Here's the confusion though in Matthew 12:36 Jesus says that ALL men will have to give an account to God for every idle word spoken on the day of judgement. Wait a second, weren't my sins forgiven when I accepted Christ? Why will I be reminded of them during the judgement when I'm trying to forget about them on move on as I continue to battle sin daily? Why will I have to give an account for things that I am ashamed of? Honestly? I wouldn't know what to say and I would just be ashamed if Christ asked me to explain every time I ever used God's name in vain. Every time I blasphemed him as an atheist. Every time I've cursed in front of my wife and in front of other people (I'm a chronic curser). Every time I've made a sex joke or said the scientific words for the male and female body parts. I've said MANY idle words and I just cannot stop. Why do I have to give an account for something that I cannot even help? Can somebody explain this to me?
