So what assurances do we have that the human fall into sin will not repeat itself in heaven?

This is a question from Nicholas in Camacho, Florida, who sent a single email to ask.

Pastor John, I have often worried that after some time after being in heaven, I will sin

against God.

If the devil wants perfect and in God's presence fell into sin, what does that mean

for us who are justified sinners?

Could the sin of Eden be repeated in heaven?

The thought that I might still sin against God when I am in heaven has plagued me for

some time.

Does the Bible offer Christians any hope that we will forever not sin once we are glorified?

Yes, it does, and no, the fall will not be repeated in heaven.

So here's why.

The reason that we who are united to Christ by faith in His glorious work on the cross

and in the resurrection is that this blood which He shed seals a new covenant.

That's why it's not going to happen.

We're not going to fall like Satan did or like Adam did.

One of the marks of the new covenant is not only that God gives us eternal life, but

also that God commits Himself because of Christ to keep us from doing anything that would

jeopardize our eternal life.

In other words, the newness of the new covenant is precisely that God is committed to keeping

us from falling away the way Satan did or Adam and Eve did in their days of innocence.

They were not the beneficiaries of the blood bought new covenant.
