1 Corinthians 13:12 ESV

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

Who will we then see face to face, then know fully? Who are we now seeing in a mirror dimly and knowing in part? Who has fully known us?

I think the Bible is talking about God here. We now know God dimly and in part, so there are many things we don't understand. Many mysteries, failures, confusions and sufferings we don't know why God let it happen, so we have to take it by faith. We must trust in God's goodness that all things happen for our good.

Later, when we go to God's kingdom, we will see God face to face and know Him fully as He has always fully known us. Then our faith will become knowledge. We can know for sure and clearly the truth of God.
