King James calls it the "judgment seat of Christ," which is a terrible translation because judgment is as far from this picture as the east is from the west. The Concordant Version translates the Greek word "bema" as "dais." A dais is a raised platform. Think of where the Olympians stand when receiving their medals. 

Whatever good we have done in this life will be rewarded. Our sufferings and losses will be recompensed. Anything that hampered us in this life–whether a physical or moral infirmity—we will be relieved of. 

When we each appear here, WE ARE ALREADY SAVED; WE ARE ALREADY MEMBERS OF THE BODY OF CHRIST; WE ARE ALREADY IMMORTAL; WE ALREADY COULD NOT BE LOVED MORE BY GOD AND CHRIST. 

So what is there to fear? Nothing. It's all good.
