What does the Bible say about relationships in heaven?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that in heaven God’s people will enjoy perfect, holy fellowship with Christ and one another, while earthly marriage will no longer continue in its present form. Jesus says in Matthew 22:30 that the resurrected neither marry nor are given in marriage, for their life is fully ordered around God’s presence and glory. This does not diminish love or personal identity, but removes sin, loss, jealousy, and every brokenness from human fellowship. Luke 15:7 shows heaven’s shared joy over salvation, and John 20:19-23 displays the risen Christ gathering and commissioning His people in peace. Meanwhile, Luke 16:18 upholds the seriousness of marriage on earth, and 1 John 2:3-4 reminds believers that love for Christ is shown through obedient faith.
