The saints in heaven will see God
with the eye of the mind, for He will always be invisible to the bodily eye;
and will see Him more clearly than they could see Him by reason and faith, and
more extensively than all His works and dispensations had hitherto revealed Him;
but their minds will not be so enlarged as to be capable of contemplating at
once, or in detail, the whole excellence of His nature. To comprehend infinite
perfection, they must become infinite themselves. Even in Heaven, their
knowledge will be partial, but at the same time their happiness will be
complete, because their knowledge will be perfect in this sense, that it will
be adequate to the capacity of the subject, although it will be progressive,
and that as their views expand, their blessedness will increase; but it will
never reach a limit beyond which there is nothing to be discovered; and when
ages after ages have passed away, He will still be the comprehensible God.
(John Dick, 1840). (Arthur Walkington Pink, The Attributes of God [Watchmaker
Publishing, 2011], 104)
