“We must wait for that happy moment when being admitted into the full vision and communion of God, we will perfectly and without a veil see into those things which are as yet inaccessible to us.
In the meantime, let us learn on earth the things whose knowledge will remain in heaven and let us begin in grace what we will perpetually do in glory.
Thus gratefully cherishing the memory of the great and numerous blessings with which the immense love of God has enriched us, let us not cease with heart, tongue and work to glorify Him both in our souls and in our bodies, waiting for that blessed time when, fully glorified by Him in body and soul, we may in unison sing an eternal Hallelujah to Him.”
–Francis Turretin, Institutes of Elenctic Theology, (20.13.10). Ed. James Dennison (Phillipsburg, NJ: P&R, 1692/1996), 3: 637.
