Free will means the ability to choose between options, but it doesn’t require that one of those options be sin. In heaven, the will is freely aligned with God’s will—people won’t want to sin, not because they are forced to obey, but because their nature has been perfected. Revelation 21:4 says that the old order of things—sin, death, and suffering—has passed away. This does not mean that people become robots, but rather that they are transformed so completely, Philippians 3:20–21, that sin no longer holds any appeal. In heaven, desires and choices are still freely exercised, but in a perfected state where sin has no power or attraction, 1 John 3:2. The highest act of free will is love, and in heaven, people will still freely love God and one another—only now without the corruption of sin. Heaven doesn’t remove free will; it redeems it. In this life, human wills are bent and often distorted by sin, but in heaven, the will is fully free from sin’s influence. That is not the loss of freedom, but the fulfillment of it.
