 Those who see God receive life. For this reason, God, who cannot be grasped, comprehended, or seen, allows himself to be seen, comprehended, and grasped by men, that he may give life to those who see and receive him. It is impossible to live without life, and the actualization of the life comes from participation in God, while participation in God is to see God and enjoy his goodness. Men will therefore see God if they are to live.
