Keeping in mind the passages just overviewed, we can now focus on why this sight is “happifying.” In short, we can say that the beatific vision is the radically complete knowledge of God and his glory. It is a sight of who God is, and who God is for you. This sight happifies because it fulfills the purpose of human persons—to know God and love him. It is the culmination of salvation where God pulls his children to himself and communes with them for eternity.
