Will There Be Free Will In Heaven?

If God is absolutely sovereign over all things, and nothing happens outside of His will or plan, what does that mean for eternity? In this episode of our podcast, we wrestle with one of the deepest and most fascinating theological questions believers have asked for centuries.

Tonight’s discussion explores the tension between God’s sovereignty and human will in the context of the New Creation. Scripture tells us that God “works all things according to the counsel of His will,” yet it also presents humanity as real, thinking, choosing beings made in His image. So how do those two truths coexist once sin, death, and corruption are completely removed?

On the New Earth, there is no rebellion, no curse, no temptation, and no death. But does that mean our will is overridden? Or does it mean our will is finally healed, perfected, and aligned with God’s goodness in a way we’ve never experienced before? Is freedom defined as the ability to choose anything at all, or is true freedom the ability to always choose what is good, beautiful, and true?

We examine whether free will in eternity looks less like constant decision-making between good and evil and more like joyful participation in God’s will. If God’s plan cannot fail, does that make our choices meaningless? Or does it elevate them, giving them eternal significance within His perfectly ordered kingdom?

This conversation also touches on big questions like:

What does it mean to be glorified?

Can freedom exist without the possibility of sin?

Is love still real if rebellion is no longer an option?

How does Christ’s lordship shape our eternal agency?

What does Scripture actually say about reigning, ruling, and co-creating with God?

Rather than offering easy answers, this episode invites listeners into careful reflection, biblical reasoning, and honest theological exploration. Whether you lean Calvinist, Arminian, or somewhere in between, this discussion challenges assumptions and encourages deeper engagement with the hope of the New Earth.

If you’ve ever wondered what eternity will feel like, how human identity continues beyond resurrection, or how God’s sovereignty and human will are finally reconciled in Christ, this episode is for you.

Join us as we explore what it truly means to live forever in the presence of a sovereign God — not as puppets, but as redeemed sons and daughters fully alive, fully free, and fully aligned with His perfect will.
