The Bible says that all people will stand before God's judgment seat to account for their deeds, yet believers may approach Him boldly through Christ's blood with reverent fear and a pure heart.
Standing before God involves both accountability and access. We will all be revealed before Christ's judgment seat and must answer for our deeds, prompting reverent fear and humility. Yet through Christ's blood, believers may draw near with boldness and true faith, while those who reject Him face His wrath and judgment. God's omniscience demands honest living and purity of heart.

With two he covered his face. With two he covered his feet. With two he flew. One called to another, and said, “Holy, holy, holy, is Yahweh of Armies! The whole earth is full of his glory!” The foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am undone, because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell among a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Armies!”
