Because there are many judgements from God, for different kinds of people, at different times The 2 main judgements are :
1.) Judgment at the Great White Throne (Rev. 20:11).
A person who has received Christ as their Savior will NOT have to face this judgement, the blood of Jesus has cleansed them from EVERY sin, they have eternal life, and will be in the New Jerusalem for eternity.
2.) Judgement Seat of Christ (2 Cor. 5:10).
A person who has received Christ as their Savior will have to face this judgement, to give an account of his life, living, works, unconfessed sins, etc. It will be determined whether they enter the joy and glory of the Lord in the millenial kingdom.
Believing in Christ, victorious over #1, does NOT automatically grant you to be victorious at #2.
