What stops you from sinning in heaven?

Heaven, partaking of God's divine nature, is something which is only possible if you are perfect. A perfect person doesn't commit any evil--if they committed evil, they wouldn't be perfect after all, and they wouldn't have been in Heaven.

Its sort of the flip question of "can someone in Hell repent?" Hell is the absence of any good, so any genuine feelings of remorse for sin and the seed of goodness which is allowed to bring that repentence, isn't compatible with hell.

Well if people in hell could not repent thought to lack of good, I would seem God would be a bit of a ass or not all powerful, because if people truly repents then God would see this and maybe bring time up, maybe there is a place that's in-between heaven and hell for thought who are not that bad.
