The Sun is made up mainly of hydrogen, less helium, and small amounts of heavier elements. Four hydrogen atoms fuse to from one helium atom, in this process a lot of energy & heat is released. The sun will remain stable until the whole hydrogen is converted into helium. When the total hydrogen is exhausted energy production stops in its core and thus the core starts shrinking.
