Rhondazvous,
Free will is part of our opportunity. Through physical life we have the option to do good, bad, or nothing. Doing nothing equals exactly that. A useless worthless existence. Doing bad and accepting it as ok will lead to more bad and could have detrimental effects on us, the earth, and maybe the Universe. Doing good and spreading good through everything we do as a whole would have amazing effects on us, the earth, and the Universe.
We have free will and the power to make the Universe better or worse because we are derivatives of God. We are directly connected to good and bad. Our free will isn't instilled in us strictly for us to have a relationship with God. That should be apparent due to all of the people that claim not to believe. So saying free will is so we can love God, and our misery is due to anything other than our own hand is just wrong. I do not think humans will have free will in heaven. Firstly, there won't be any humans. We are not physical after physical death so to say human makes no sense. Our entire being will be one with good. As beings that have assended to a unison with all creation there will be no need for free will. We will do right by creation due to our existence and for the sake of existence. The angels sinned because of jealously of our potential. Does that mean we will be able to sin in heaven. No I don't think so. I don't think the angels were capable of sin until they came to the physical realm of the earth, nor was there any want for sin until that point. Even if we had individual thought, which I believe to be unlikely there still wouldn't be any regret or animosity towards God. We would be pure spiritual beings incapable of evil in our heavenly form.
We could have been without sin on earth but we would have been oblivious to our importance, connection, and opportunities. Pain is necessary for learning and advancement.
