I do believe that the day will come when all of us will stand before God and give an account of our works, good or bad. For those who also believe this, do you wlyour own good works…despite your sin…to earn your salvation diminishes, in any way, the work that Jesus did for you on the cross…?
I’ve heard that most of My life. Yet, Paul says that there is NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ,

There is the concept that only the lost will be judged for their sin..... at the Great White Throne judgment. Members of the Body of Christ... if they are even in attendance, will only be observers.
Believers will appear at the Bema Seat judgment. There are those who hold that the believers will only be judged for the "quality" of their works.
See 1 Corinthians 3:10-15.
The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”
