A. Yes, they do; but not so as they shall enjoy him in Heaven. 1 Cor. 13.12. Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face; now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
Q. 8. What are the special differences between the Saints Communion with God here, and that in Heaven?
A. Their Communion with God here is clogged with Sin. Rom. 7.21. I find then a law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me. Here it is not constant. Psal. 22.1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Nor is it satisfying: but in Heaven it will be pure, constant and satisfying.
