Theophilus

But if you say,"Show me thy God," I would reply, "Show me yourself, and I will show you my God." Show, then, that the eyes of your soul are capable of seeing, and the ears of your heart able to hear...For God is seen by those who are enabled to see him when they have the eyes of their soul opened...So also when there is sin in man, such a man cannot behold God...The appearance of God is ineffable and indescribable and cannot be seen by eyes of flesh...When thou shalt have put off the mortal and put on incorruption, then shalt thou see God worthily. For God will raise they flesh immortal with they soul; and then, having become imortal, thou shalt see the Imortal, if now you believe in him. --Theophilus to Autolycus
