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.

Future home of the heavenly Bridegroom and the earthly Bride
64-0802 §123
what will do it? This earth couldn't be a place for heaven to sit now. Look at it ---the sin. It will have to be cleansed. No man, no person, no woman, boy, girl---I don't care who he is---is fit to go in the pulpit, or even claim to be a Christian, without being filled with the Holy Ghost! You have no right to the Lord's supper or any communion or feet washing or anything, until you have been cleansed by the holy fire of God. No man has a right to preach unless he, like Moses, meets Him out there on that sacred gr...

That's not just a story; that's the truth. That's what God said. That's what He's promised. That's what the bride goes to. Even the desert, He said, shall blossom, be a rose. Satan, sin, and sinners has gone forever. It's all done; blended into eternity and all that was perverted... That great archangel that set there one day, Satan, that did all this evil will be destroyed. Remember, the Bible said if that soul won't do as He said do, He will even destroy that soul. But you see, He can't destroy Himself and remain...
Adoption, part 4: Adoption

And what is it when you're way out there in redemption, with a brand new body? You've turned back to a young man altogether again, or a young woman---you're never going to die no more. And you look down on earth, and think, "I could enjoy some grapes and some good cold water, but, you know, I don't need it here." But someday Jesus is coming, and this angelic body, this theophany that I'm living in, will not come through the womb of a woman anymore. It'll not come through sexual desire anymore. But because that He w...

What does it do? It... Then these thistles, and sickness, and death, and politics, and sinful men, and sinful women, and evil spirits will all be gone away and annihilated. It has to be done that way, because we are going to live right here. We'll prove that by the Bible. Right here is where we live. Now notice, thistles, germs, all sicknesses, and things will be completely taken away. All of this existence that's in the earth now: man-made systems, politics, sin, all kinds of evil spirits that the world is contami...
Fellowship
55-0501A §65
Now, if you speak of heaven, or when we die, that we go off to a place somewhere where you can't even see up there, can't you see that it's God has hid the glory from the natural eye? We are sitting here in heavenly places! Now the Holy Spirit is here. Now Christ is here. And the body that we receive when we go out of here, we go into another dimension, into a blessed place with the Lord Jesus. And at the return of Christ in His physical body, coming back to earth, He's spiritually turned back and pick up a brand n...
