What will your final “check-in” be like? Going to Hell, and checking-in there? Or: Are you on your way to Heaven and the final-check-in there (1 Corinthians 3:8)?
Yes, even the born again will be judged for how they lived-out their life on earth. We will all arrive there, but some …like as if their clothes are a smokin’, having lived badly. Saved, yes, but arriving with clothes a smokin’ from God’s displeasure (“…as [one who has barely escaped] through fire”).

Scripture warns us to live as if Jesus is coming back any day. And we will then be evaluated as to how we lived our life in Jesus.
Watch yourselves, so that you do not lose what we have accomplished together, but that you may receive a full and perfect reward [when He grants rewards to faithful believers].
– 2 John 1:8
Will you “suffer the loss” of your rewards — because of living badly?
But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward]; yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.
– 1 Corinthians 3:15
…love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant)
– Luke 6:35
“Be [very] careful not to do your good deeds publicly, to be seen by men; otherwise you will have no reward [prepared and awaiting you] with your Father who is in heaven.
– Matthew 6
He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
– 1 Corinthians 3:8

“knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.”
– Colossians 3:24
Think about it: How do you want to arrive in Heaven? It is up to you. Right now, for the rest of your temporary life here on earth (however brief the time left) — you determine your rewards and punishments. Jesus rewards the good life. He already damned the rest.
