Romans 14:10-12
10 “But as for you, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or you as well, why do you regard your brother or sister with contempt? For we will all appear before the judgment seat of God. 11 For it is written:
“As I live, says the Lord, to Me every knee will bow,
And every tongue will give praise to God.”
12 So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God.”
Judge: Paul is encouraging Christians to not judge one another according to certain aspects of their living. The kingdom of God is not about external things like eating and drinking (Romans 14:17). Certain foods and drinks may prove harmful to us, but they have nothing to do with righteousness.
Judgment seat of God: Paul is making the point that all Christians are in the same position. We all stand before the judgment seat of God. Paul is not speaking of standing before God and being evaluated by Him. He is stating that Christians stand perpetually righteous before God because God helps them to stand by His grace (Romans 14:4). Also, it’s important to note that elsewhere Paul speaks, not of Christians being judged by God but helping God judge the world and angels (1 Corinthians 6:2-3).
