What does the Bible say about judgment for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Believers are already judged for their sins through Christ's sacrifice; their judgment is a declaration of their righteousness in Christ.

The Bible teaches that believers do face a judgment, but it is fundamentally different from the judgment of the unbeliever. As Romans 8:33 states, 'Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies.' This means that our sins have already been judged as Christ bore the penalty for them on the cross. So, while we will appear before God, it is not to determine our eternal fate, as it has already been secured by Christ's righteousness imputed to us. In the judgment, God will declare us as His children, affirming the reality of our salvation and the divine righteousness given to us through faith in Jesus Christ.
