Q&A How can we have free will without sin in heaven, but can't do so on earth?

In 1 Corinthians chapter 13 says that the knowledge will have an end. Meaning that we will know fully. I think it is quite clear that one person's beliefs (or faith) is the reflection of his own...

  • 1. In 1 Corinthians chapter 13 says that the knowledge will have an end. Meaning that we will know fully - relational at least.
  • 2. I think it is quite clear that one person's beliefs (or faith) is the reflection of his own desire(s). Desire, faith and knowledge -relational or intellectual knowledge - have a strong relationship.
  • 3. God gives salvation based on someone's faith - if I can say so. I think it is not mistaken to conclude that the earthly life is a test/exam.
  • From 1, 2 and 3 it is obvious - without trying to simplify the complexity of the topic - that in heaven, sinners won't sin anymore.
  • N.B.1. Maybe our "out of time" state there in heaven (if it would be so) would have also an impact on the topic.
  • N.B.2. Another - maybe interesting - topic which I think about is: what does perfection means in heaven? Does it mean that we will do everything perfect from the first time? Will be perfecting ourselves on a sinless state basis? I know this somehow brings in discussion my first point. But I think the biblical framework is enough to accept the sinless scenario. How this will be realized, we will fully understand there only, in heaven.
