“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11
But think of that in the light of Christs words and judgements in the gospel rather than the law of Moses.
For a single and simple instance
“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:36-38 KJV
We are going to be judged for our words and deeds for sure everyone will but if we accept the gospel we have an intercessor. And better covenant word to believe what I mean is things like what Jesus just taught there in the gospel lead sinners to redemption and life
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
but things like this that Moses taught in the law lead to death of all sinners
“And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.”
Deuteronomy 19:21 KJV
This word is certain death for a young bride who has had pre marital sex
“then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.”
Deuteronomy 22:21
that’s for if a newly married woman is found not to be a virgin on her wedding night. But it’s that way for many things like adultery after marriage
“And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.”
Leviticus 20:10 KJV
if someone bOre false witness against another in major sins. Things like this also show the nature of the word has changed
“And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.”
John 8:3-5, 7, 9-11 KJV
You see that Jesus word turns judgement onto the individual who’s judging the current sinner but to the sinner he’s offering forgivness and soaring her the condemnation of the laws clear sentance of death for adultery . instead Jesus forgives her and then tells her to repent to stop doing it. His word saves sinners calling them to repentance giving them grace as they repent and follow after him in belief
but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”

Well; the Bible says God has handed all judicial processes off to His son so it is
very doubtful I will stand before the supreme of all beings to answer for myself.
● John 5:22-23 . .The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment
to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He
who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
● Acts 17:30-31 . .He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice
by the man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by
raising him from the dead.
However, if opportunity permits: the first thing I'd do is walk in with my
head lowered and ask His son if it would be okay to make eye contact
because to be honest about it; I'm not all that anxious to meet with Christ
one-on-one.

Hard for me to answer this since one its speculation and 2 it would never happen. The only time someone is standing before Him is being judged something that will never happen to believers who were bought with a price paid in full by one sacrifice. We get rewards so.. why should I give you a reward?
I heard a story it was a Jewish man that never followed the lord. All I remember is he said the lord asked him "have you read my book?" The Jewish man said "what book". The man said it made God laugh "you never read my book?" The man did get saved found the Messiah but I really like that. Just to keep it going a elderly Jewish man living in NY never ever heard of Yeshua/Jesus Christ this was the year 2000. He did later though.
My point is .. I can see Him really smile when you said that
