Eternal progression

Being finite and being untrusting (unbelieving) are not the same. 

A key aspect of unbelief is refusing to recognize the reality of our limitations or the worlds. 

e.g. Adam was told he was not (yet?) suited to know good and evil i.e. He was limited/finite. Yet he bought into the lie he could be his own god (someone with not limits) and no longer needed to be the limited/finite being he actually was; a being dependent on the truly and only infinite, self sufficient one (i.e. God), for life and all things.

In Eternity the means by which we will continue to progress is not by faith as we do presently (since we will then be face to face with God and relate to him by sight) but instead, by an ever increasing expansion of our being in greater union with the infinite source of love and life.

And because God is infinite our expansion will never cease i.e. We will always be increasing in our capacity to experience and enjoy God throughout eternity. There will never come a point we will "arrive" i.e. stop expanding in our experience, for there is no end to the infinite or our capacity to experience him. The reason our capacity will be ever expanding is we are like God i.e. In his image.

The love of God presently revealed to us by the Spirit through faith is what transforms us now and in eternity. The difference in eternity is that love will be experienced directly and seen face to face and not by faith i.e. No longer through a glass darkly.
