This passage brings to my mind something that I have trouble understanding. Since our sins have been forgiven and will not be held against us, how does this reconcile with other scriptures that say we will be held accountable for every idle word. What is the judgment spoken of in Revelation that asserts all men will stand in? I would appreciate your insight. I am really enjoying your study of Colossians.
