Will you go to heaven if your gay

This is one of the most asked—and most sensitive—questions in conversations about faith and sexuality. Behind it is often a deeper concern: Does God love me? Is there hope for me? To answer this well, we need to zoom out and ask: Who goes to heaven? The Bible is clear—eternal life is not about whether someone is gay, straight, or anything else.

It is about whether they have been reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Salvation Is Through Christ Alone. No one earns heaven by their own merit. What matters is whether they trust in Christ, surrendering their life to Him. The gospel is an invitation to all people, including those who experience same-sex attraction.

LGBTQ+ church bid: 'I was told being gay would send you to hell'

What About Sin? Some might ask: But what if someone or myself is actively engaging in a same-sex relationship? The call of Christ is always to turn from sin and follow Him Luke But this does not mean that experiencing same-sex attraction itself is sinful. Sin is not in what we feel, but in how we respond to those feelings.

A person who experiences SSA yet submits their desires to Christ and seeks to walk in holiness is living faithfully—just as a straight believer must resist sexual sin. The Hope of the Gospel. So, will gay people go to heaven? The answer is the same for all people: Those who put their faith in Jesus, repent of their sin, and follow Him will be saved.

It is for the redeemed. And that invitation is open to everyone. My dream is to one day see my name on the cover of a book filled with my deepest thoughts, inspiring others to ask their hardest questions without fear. I dream of a world where we learn to hope fiercely. Dangerous Questions.
