This earth is the place of temptation but Satan sinned in heaven. So can you.
-
Those who pray the will of God be done in our lives shall only be with God. There will only be will of God this time in heaven.
-
For those choosing to love God then our will already is fulfilled in Heaven.
-
No sin. No fleshly pulls. At last we will be totally subject to the Lord and continually choosing to do His Will with no fleshly nature to try to satisfy as an alternate choice.

Let me ask a guy I know. He actually wrote his M.A. thesis on this very topic. He might let me post his thesis or parts of it.
-
While your doing that I’ll ask a guy I know, he created the heavens and the earth so I’m guessing he’ll have the correct answer ..
-
There’s free will in heaven, and unlike here, we won’t be tempted and have no reason to sin.
-
There will be frew will. But God has also free will and He will never sin. And we will be like Him, we will have His character.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1 John 3:2 KJV

We will be like Jesus. Jesus has free will, but He aligns His will with that of the Father. We will be that way. Our will will align with God’s.
-
The devil used free will to rebel against God. Also a third of angels used free will to rebel agaisnt God. I actually started thinking of this matter recently and im still working on it.
-
did Jesus even said, think about this free will?

J Warner Wallace(Retired forensic detective and now Christian apologist) put it best.
All crimes/sin fall into 1 of 3 categories. Power, $ or sex. We won’t need or want any of these things when we have our new glorified bodies and are no longer slaves to the flesh or affected by tainted thinking. Plus, we have knowledge that Satan didn’t have in that the creature can’t be better than the creator and all of humanity and the angels will know his plan was an example of the good(Satan’s perspective) being the enemy of the best! God could have destroyed him immediately but instead chose to REFUTE him over time once and for all through the cross so all of creation will be left with no doubts!
Another way to look at it is like when a child says they are gonna buy all the candy they want when they grow up but when they are grown they don’t because it’s foolish!
I believe we will someday view sin the same way as we will have been delivered from these bodies of death AND have the knowledge that life apart from God is no life at all as he is the source!Satan was 2nd only to God and “corrupted his wisdom by his splendor”(pride) which led to his demise. Pride requires no external temptation and comes from within. The false reality and belief that the creature can be better than the creator!
““Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor….”
Ezekiel 28:17 NKJV -
A whole new sin-free existence.
-
God knows who would remain faithful before He allows anyone to enter
-
Yes, free will is currently in the Kingdom and will be in the Kingdom forever. Lucifer used his “free will” to rebel against His Creator. God the Father desires intimate relationship with His created beings, both angelic and human; therefore, free will is essential in order for love and relationship to manifest with purity and authenticity.

Check out the no mores in heaven!
-
Having free will to sin in heaven must be like having free will on Earth to jump into a tank of sulfuric acid.
No more confusion, no more temptation. We’ll see sin for it’s true evilness and magnitude. And we’ll see God truly and fully.
-
Free will without knowledge of sin and evil
-
Scripture is not explicit. No one can rightly discuss this topic.
-
Will not matter
-
I believe we will still have free will, but sin won’t be an option. Sort of like at the state Adam and Eve we’re at, except there won’t be the forbidden tree of life. We won’t desire sin, and won’t have the resources to sin either
-
When we see Christ, the beatific vision, we will be changed and have is nature. Our wills will follow the desires of a sinless essence.
-
Look at it like this- if you are a child of God, you have His Holy Spirit in your spirit ,right? Your spirit is clean, so what part of you continues to want to sin,? Your flesh, right? But that will be done away with either when you die, or are raptured at His coming.You will have a new body that won’t have the fallen nature of the old one. Does this mean it will be impossible to sin,to disobey God,forever? I don’t know,I don’t think anyone knows unless God reveals it to them
-
Free will consistent with a morally perfected personhood. We will not be able to sin.
-
Is like to dream when lion eat grass nearby raindeer…right???
-
Definitely free will!! We’re unique beings in body spirit and soul!! That won’t change in Heaven. Worship is *huge* and it’s the purest expression of love and free will!!!
-
Adam and Eve couldn’t choose sin at first either. They needed to be capable of being tempted, earthly body, and they needed temptation. Why else would Satan have been made? Without temptation, we cannot choose. If we cannot choose, there would be no choice or free will. Satan was necessary for us to freely choose God or self.
-
Free will doesn’t exist, period.
-
Yes it will still be there .
-
Well said with one exception. Only knowledge of good. No knowledge of good and evil, but good only. We aren’t going to Heaven. Heaven is coming down.
-
Turn attention to fallen angels such as the former archangel Lucifer, the Morningstar, formerly described as one of God’s most beautiful and intelligent creations then cast out of heaven….there’s free will
-
That is the reason satan is exposed on earth through all the evil wr see, by the the time you get to heaven you will not choose to have it again by free will that you will have
-
You worship the Father of your own free will.
Understand the scheme of redemption , the plan of salvation, you enter into a covenant relationship with him through his Son and the Holy Spirit abiding in you as the temple of God. Worship on earth by your own free will .
In heaven you will do what you always wanted to do which is worship.
Luke 16:22-31
There is a boundary. -
[…] Will there be free will in heaven? Is that even… […]
