How do we know that everyone in heaven will be equal?

The notion that there will be different statuses or rewards in heaven stems from a misunderstanding of God's love and the nature of salvation. According to Scripture, all believers are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5), equally redeemed by the precious blood of Christ (1 Peter 1:18-19), and justified by the same righteousness. Therefore, every Christian, regardless of their earthly works or struggles, is equally a child of God, with the same rights and privileges in the kingdom of heaven. This equal standing is reinforced by passages that highlight the shared inheritance of all believers (Ephesians 1:11-14) and the royal priesthood shared among them (1 Peter 2:9).
