What If I Sin in Heaven?

Once we know the Lord and have tasted of the sweet flavor of his presence, we do not want to go back to the empty life of pursuing the impossible. But the difficulties of life, the uncertainties, the temptations of self gratification sometimes feel overwhelming and a nagging fear begins to haunt our thoughts. “What if when we get to heaven we sin?”

Here is the great news. We won’t.

How do we know?

The Holy Spirit said, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his abundant mercy has begotten us …to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,”

The word incorruptible means it cannot be corrupted it. Therefore your inheritance waiting in heaven for you cannot be corrupted. Never again do you have to fear sinning after you are welcomed into heaven.
