Sometimes I imagine that in that final court, James may very well be called as a witness whereby he cites James 2:10, testifying that they are infinitely guilty and that it will take infinity to atone for just one sin.

And yet it's all in the Bible in black and white so that none can say he is without excuse...
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God." -- 1 Corinthians 4:1-5"Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
"My ways are not man's ways"---God
No doubt the self righteous will think God's righteous and just convictions to be harsh, still thinking they know better than God.
