Today I learned that according to Romans 8:1, there is no condemnation for me as a follower of Christ. I knew that already, but it was nice to be reminded of that fact.
However, the commentator brought up another scripture that has always frightened me:
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be paid back according to what he has done while in the body, whether good or evil. 2 Cor. 5: 10 (NET 2)
The two words "paid back" are the ones that make the hairs stand on the back of my neck. However, I now understand that although Paul was trying to get the attention of the wayward church in Corinth, he didn't mean they would be condemned for their worthless acts of vane worship. It simply meant there was no way they were going to be rewarded when they got to heaven.
If you have a different interpretation, I would appreciate your input.
