Although we will be held accountable for our words, actions, and inactions that's not to say we will be held in Judgment for them. If we hold a repentative heart, actively try to better ourselves, improve our interactions with others, and ask for forgiveness when we do mess up while trying to make it right, that will act as a weight on the balance scales tipping them into our favor. I believe you're right in saying it's like a court with Jesus acting on our behalf.
I hope my response was on point with your question, I could expand on this if there's something you feel I may have not covered as I wanted to give you a timely answer and wasn't prepared for such a theological question this early. I appreciate you and your inquiry fren.
