Pursuing Jesus in Scripture clears the reflection - In Reply - 3 years ago
1 Corinthians 13:12
For 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.
Paul now describes this partial knowledge of God as seeing a reflection in a dim mirror. Some scholars suggest that he had in mind Corinth's famous bronze mirrors, known for their imperfect reflections. After the coming of Christ, when the church is fully mature as He is, however, we will see God face to face, knowing Him in person instead of through partial revelation.
In fact, Paul adds, we will know God and His ways then as He knows us now. God, of course, is never limited in His knowledge. He knows everything there is to know about us, even what we do not see or understand about ourselves. In that day, when God comes to live among us ( Revelation 21:1-5), we will know fully, as He knows us fully in this moment now.
Hello Linda. The closest Scripture I can think of is, 1 Corinthians 13:12: "For 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."
This Scripture doesn't really answer your question, but I offer it in case you were thinking of something similar but didn't have the correct words in your thoughts. That verse actually speaks of our limited knowledge & use of spiritual gifts that we have while we walk on the Earth. But when see our Lord Jesus at His Coming & reign with Him, all things will be made clear to us as our earthly limitations & preconceptions vanish away. Maybe someone else might have another Scripture that will help you.
