Will There Be Sex in Heaven?
1) Direct Answer
No. In heaven, in the resurrection, there will be no sex and no marriage. The saints will be like the angels, and the union we rejoice in is our spiritual oneness with Christ.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Jesus said, “In the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven” (Matthew 22:30). Luke adds, “They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection… neither marry… neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels” (Luke 20:34-36).
- The “marriage supper of the Lamb” (Revelation 19:7-9) is the celebration of the redeemed being joined to Christ. Ephesians says earthly marriage is “a great mystery” pointing to “Christ and the church” (Ephesians 5:31-32). That union is spiritual, not carnal.
- Our bodies will be changed: “Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). We will be raised in glory and power (1 Corinthians 15:42-44), fashioned like His glorious body (Philippians 3:21). In that state there is no death, no curse (Revelation 21:4; 22:3), so the earthly order of marrying and multiplying no longer applies.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Marriage and sexual relations belong to this mortal life for companionship and the raising of children. But in the resurrection there is no death, so no need to replenish the earth. That’s why Jesus said we will be like the angels—alive forever, not entering into marriage.
- Our joy and love will be higher, fuller, and purer—perfect fellowship with God and with one another—without the pull of earthly appetites. The “marriage” then is the true spiritual union: Christ in His Bride.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, the Bible settles it simply: no marrying in the resurrection, like the angels. It’s not a loss, but a higher life—perfect love without temptation, the fullness of Christ with His redeemed.

Notice, redeeming back with him; going home, back to eternal life in a human body, eating, drinking, living forever. Isaiah said, "They build houses and inhabit them, plant vineyards and eat the fruit." They'll not build, and another take it. The children won't take it, but they'll be there with their offspring. He'll built it and stay there. Amen. He don't build and another eat; He builds and eats himself. Amen! What is it? His bride going back with Him, redeemed back to the original Adam and Eve again. For death...

We read in John---read John and Revelation 6:14 (see?) it departed as a scroll. The Bible said that it... John said, "I saw the heaven and earth depart as a scroll," Revelation 6:14. Jesus said, "Heavens and earth shall pass away," or in other words, heavens and earth shall be changed. Used that same word right there again, not annihilated. For later in Revelation 21:2-24 he seen the new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven and sitting upon this earth. It doesn't mean that it'll be annihilated. The systems'...

That's the same thing He does when He gives you the Holy Ghost baptism with fire. He can come and dwell with you, and we can sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, because we are already in Him! Not we will be, we are now, sitting in Christ Jesus! How do we get into it?---by one Holy Ghost baptism. By one Spirit we're all baptized into Christ, which we are now---won't be in Christ, we are! He is the great spiritual King over the Spirit that's in us, because we were in Him at the beginning.

Now, in Romans 7, trusting that you have your Bibles open everywhere now across the country, we want to read closely. Now, this message out of here, it seems like it's on marriage and divorce; but it really isn't. To me it's a prophecy for the church in the last days. Let us read. Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husban...
