"Let the most perfect union with God be represented by something at an infinite height above us; and the eternally increasing union of the saints with God, by something that is ascending constantly towards that infinite height, moving upwards with a given velocity; and that is to continue thus to move to all eternity.
God, who views the whole of this eternally increasing height, views it as an infinite height. And if he has respect to it, and makes it his end, as in the while of it, he has respect to it as an infinite height, though the time will never come when it can be said it has already arrived at this infinite height."
p. 250 The End for Which God Created the World by Jonathan Edwards within the book of God's Passion For His Glory written by John Piper
