1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God,,
2 Cor 4: 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
John Owen said "consider the state of our minds in glory. The faculties of our souls shall be made perfect as all "the spirits of just men" (Heb 12:23). David said, "As for me, I will see your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied when I awake in your likeness." Christ alone is the likeness and image of God. When we awake in the other world, with our minds purified and rectified, then we shall always be satisfied because we shall always be beholding him and his glory. Our minds and eyes will never get tired; we shall be like the four living creatures which "do not rest day or night, saying, "holy, holy, holy Lord God Almighty, who was and is to come!" In heaven we shall be continually admiring and praising God in Christ, never needing any rest or even being interrupted. We shall be like angels."
"We shall always be with the Lord" 1 Thess 4:7
"Not limited by time or with no interruptions of our enjoyment of God in Christ".
"Neither will our vision be weakened by internal corruptions nor from and temptations. no doubts or fears or disturbing thoughts will have any place in heaven., but only that which will strengthen us and lead us to behold the glory of Christ with satisfied delight."
