Ravi Zacharias Q & A: Marriage in Heaven

Some theologians say that because Jesus said we will not have marriage therefore there will be no sex in heaven. We see in the Book of Enoch the angels lusted after woman on earth and in disobedience to God came and took wives and thus there were giants in the earth as a result. So maybe the angels have a type of sexual relation in heaven without marriage as we know it here on earth. Therefore though we may not have the same type of marriage in heaven, i.e., one man one woman, perhaps we never the less will have loving male & female sexual relationships with one another based on God's law of love and over seen by God's spirit of love so that all things are done in love, with love, by love and for love. All that to say that maybe there is no marriage in Heaven like we have on earth, but that does not rule out that there is not some type of intimate sexual or heavenly relationship between man and woman in heaven,similar to the sexual relationships we have experienced on earth, but not just between one man and one woman. What ever it is we know that God will wipe away every tear. God is just and loving so whatever type of relationships that we are allowed to have in Heaven will be just and loving and be permissible within the atmosphere of His loving Law of Love. Perhaps those who have learned to live lovingly and sacrificially on earth will be allowed more freedom in their intimate relationships with others and will be teachers of these principles in Heaven to those who have not learned how to lovingly care for others. Whatever it is I am sure it will be better than this earthly life and any sacrifice we have made here to help and love others will be worth it all when we see His face. For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then shall I know even as I am known. And now abides faith, hope and love, but the greatest of these is love,(1 Corinthians 13) for God is love( 1 John 4:8) and in Him there is no darkness. Let us not love in word, neither in tongue(talk), but in deed and in truth.( 1 John 3:18) Perhaps our bodies will not have so much of that male sexual hormone and therefore not be dominated by sexual desires like they are here on earth. However it is, we can take comfort in the scriptures which say, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. (1 John 3:2)God has got some amazing things prepared for those that love Him, so don't give up the faith! Amen.
