It's because the suffering is necessary sweaty, trying to imitate the perfection of heaven is sinful
This is an explicit doctrine of Christianity, famously expressed as "Don't immanentize the eschaton."
Yes - and it is very much used to arbitrarily decide what actions can be deemed sinful circumvention of the holy suffering. Usually those actions that improve the lives of undesirable elements. It is just so prevalent in american evangelical christianity - it's all total depravity and original sin (only remedied by righteous toil and pain, total surrender to conservative christian dogma), until the character of murderous sex offender billionaires is called into question, then it's all about how Christ's love is boundless and infinite.
