Revelation about Judgement

I was brought to attention of 2 Corinthians 5:10 "For we must appear before the judgement seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body,according to what he has done, whether good or bad. "

I do hope that it will not be interpreted with trying to do good so that we will not be punished by God. If the context is interpreted correctly it should be talking about the Jesus redemptive grace.

Chapter 5:1-10 is about the fresh, our body, the old self(Law). From 16-21 is talking about Jesus love for us. We are made righteous(Grace)

There is definitely judgement but judgement for non-christian and Christians are different. For salvation is not by works. God don't need us to be good to please him. The day which the robbers died beside Jesus shows judgement. Both are judged. Tell me which do u prefer?

I am not saying that we can carry on doing bad stuff but if we become true Christians, the holy spirit will take over. You need not worry.

Romans 8:13 states - "For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live."
8:16 states - " The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

So 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 states: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The Things which God has prepared for those who love Him." But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes the deep things of God.

Judgement do not stand but Grace will. It shows very much why people fear death.
