Is There marriage In Heaven?
It is the enemy of their souls, attacking their thought life. But wait, this is not a new question at all for
Jesus was ask this Question, and Here is his answer below.
Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matthew 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
So there is your answer! The devil is still at it over 2000 years later, still trying to kill steal and destroy!
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
It is so , but the devil will try anything to suggest absurd fallacies to God Children when they are most vulnerable. Remember when Jesus was In the wilderness 30 days and Thirty nights, how he twisted Psalm 91 Gods own word to tempt Jesus Christ the very son of God? ...Well, dear ones, we too are tempted to believe a lie, to rob us of Gods word. That is why it is so VERY important to read, and study Gods Word, and get it rooted into out hearts and minds in order to refute the devils lies!
Jesus rectifies The mistake, and (v. 30) corrects those gross ideas of our a future state in heaven, and fixes these doctrines upon a true and lasting basis. Concerning that state, observe, (1.) It is not like the state we are now in upon earth; They neither marry, nor are given in marriage. In our present state marriage is necessary; it was instituted in innocence; whatever intermission or neglect there has been of other institutions, this was never laid aside, nor will be till the end of time. In the old world, they were marrying, and giving in marriage; the Jews in Babylon, when cut off from other ordinances, yet were bid to take them wives.(Jeremiah 29:6) All civilized nations have had a sense of the obligation of the marriage covenant; and it is requisite for the gratifying of the desires, and recruiting the deficiencies, of the human nature. But, in the resurrection, there is no occasion for marriage; whether in glorified bodies there will be any distinction of sexes some too curiously dispute (the ancients are divided in their opinions about it); but, whether there will be a distinction or not, it is certain that there will be no conjunction;
where God will be all in all, there needs no other meet-help; the body will be spiritual, and there will be in it no carnal desires to be gratified: when the mystical body is completed, there will be no further occasion to seek a godly seed, which was one end of the institution of marriage.( Mal. 2:15) In heaven there will be no decay of the individuals, and therefore no eating and drinking; no decay of the species, and therefore no marrying; where there shall be no more deaths (Rev. 21:4) there need be no more births. The married state is a composition of joys and cares; those that enter upon it are taught to look upon it as subject to changes, richer and poorer, sickness and health; and therefore it is fit for this mixed, changing world; but as in hell, where there is no joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride shall be heard no more at all, so in heaven, where there is all joy, and no care or pain or trouble, there will be no marrying. The joys of that state are pure and spiritual, and arise from the marriage of all of them to the Lamb, not of any of them to one another. (2.) It is like the state angels are now in in heaven; They are as the angels of God in heaven; they are so, that is, undoubtedly they shall be so. They are so already in Christ their Head, who has made them sit with him in heavenly places, (Ephesians 2:6) The spirits of just men already made perfect are of the same corporation with the innumerable company of angels,(Heb.:12: 22 23) . Man in his creation was made a little lower than the angels (Psalms 8:5); but in his complete redemption and renovation will be as the angels; pure and spiritual as the angels, knowing and loving as those blessed seraphim, ever praising God like them and with them. The bodies of the saints shall be raised incorruptible and glorious, like the uncompounded vehicles of those pure and holy spirits (1 Co. 15:42, etc.), swift and strong, like them. We should therefore desire and endeavor to do the will of God now as the angels do it in heaven, because we hope shortly to be like the angels who always behold our Father's face. He saith nothing of the state of the wicked in the resurrection; but, by consequence, they shall be like the devils, whose lusts they have done.It is my desire In sharing to help you understand the word on this subject so that the devil will not be able to come against you and rob you of you peace that passes all understanding that keeps our hearts and minds when we keep our eyes upon Jesus. Knowing What The Bible has to say on this subject is most vital when our mates go home to heaven.
