The Heaven Answer Book

Is anything about Heaven imperfect or incomplete?

H eaven isn’t only glorious—it is also perfect. You see, sin has no home in Heaven. The Bible says, “Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful” (Revelation 21:27). Human minds cannot conceive such purity because we are a race of fallen creatures plagued with disease, consumed with war, enraged by jealousy, dejected by loneliness, jaded by greed, enticed by temptation, dis appointed by others, conflicted within, and demonized by Satan. This describes what the writer of Hebrews said, “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” (12:1). Those who know and follow Jesus as Lord recognize sin’s evil results. If you’ve ever traveled through a construction zone, you know it can be perilous. Travelers are relieved when they see a sign posted that says “End of Construction”
