For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

Will Christ condemn us?
What will happen to use when being judged by Christ?

No. We were judged in Christ already. He paid for our sins, He reconciled us to God.

God will however judge the way we led our Christian lives. Our works deeds will go through the fire. He will reward us with a crown 'stefanos'. For example from rev 2 'Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. ' I believe there is 7 of them. You can search for them all.

what will Christ do with us, if we are unprofitable servants.

after we have instead done all that Christ commanded us, what do we say about ourselves.



Matthew 25:30
And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Luke 17:10
So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.




if anyone is reconciled to god, are they still the old creature, have all old things not passed away, are all things not of god in all we do, does the ministry of reconciliation not speak about condemnation from Christ, if we are a fake corrupt righteousness of god in him.


2 Corinthians 5.17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.



we were enemies in our minds by wicked works, are we now reconciled to god by now being seen as friends doing the same wicked works.

are we in gods sight holy and without blame, when we act unholy towards others, when they can blame us for doing evil to them, or we instead fill ourselves up with the afflictions of Christ, for Christ to be in us, the hope of glory, who we have preached to us, who we are warned about, to be presented perfect in Christ Jesus, labouring as the apostles of the lord laboured, according to the working of Christ, which worked in them mightily.


Colossians 1.21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

The records of everyones lives are stored in heaven ... all are judged according to those records (we don't appear personally). When the records of the saved are opened the "debts/sin" will be blotted out as if they never happened because Jesus' perfect righteousness will be applied to us. No we will not be condemned ... rather fully pardoned.

Judgement takes place in heaven before Jesus returns.

Paul often speaks hyperbolically. He was pretty upset with the Corinthians. We know nothing about the judgment seat of Jesus Christ of Nazareth other than those who are " in Him, He Knows" are sealed with His Holy Spirit and is our Advocate with The Father.
Blessings.

That is not about salvation.

That is the companion passage to 1 Co 3:12-13 regarding our Christian works and whether they were worthless or durable.
"Bad" there does not mean sin, but the worthless Christian works of an insipid life and poor doctrine.

I confess to some fear. This verse scares me.

To whom much is given, much more will be required. Luke 12

This is another verse that scares me:

In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” Matthew 18

Keeping in mind that our just Judge is also our Savior from his own justice.

I will plead Christ's atonement for my sin.

"Bad" here does not mean sinful, it means worthless Christian work as in 1 Co 3:12-13.
To whom much is given, much more will be required. Luke 12

This is another verse that scares me:

In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” Matthew 18
This is God's pre-gospel law justice apart from saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 2.2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

i can continue to place scripture for ever, on the judgement of Christ, i will every day for as long as it seems appropriate.


Luke 6.43 For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Actually, this refers to the judgment of the Father, as distinct from the Son.
In context, this (2:1-3:8) is demonstrating that no Jew is righteous, just as Paul had demonstrated that no Gentile is righteous (1:18-32) in his demonstration of the unrighteousness of all mankind (3:9-20) and righteousness being only from God (3:21).

Yes, Christ is the judge of all mankind (Jn 5:22, 27, 9:39).

This is the `bema seat,` of Christ which is for rewards. What we do under the guidance and inspiration of the Holy Spirit is good, while what we do for self-aggrandizement will be burnt up, (like wood, hay and stubble).

there is one judgement, just as condemnation came upon all so judgement is one always, from god who also is one.

Jesus tells many times how all nations are judged from the throne of his glory,[ the throne of god AND of the lamb]



Romans 5:18
Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

Ephesians 4.4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.


Matthew 25.31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.


Revelation 22:3
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
