The anticipation of seeing God face-to-face is heartfelt and ancient.... In what form will we be when we see God? Will we be ghostly spirits, floating about? No, we will be resurrected human beings, standing and kneeling, walking and talking, praying and worshiping and laughing, eating and drinking in our new bodies. As Job cried out, "After my sin has been destroyed yet in my flesh I will see God."
Will the Christ we worship in Heaven as God also be human? Yes. According to Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday [when he lived on Earth] and today [when he lives in the present Heaven] and forever [when he will live on the New Earth, in the eternal Heaven]."
In Heaven, the barriers between redeemed human beings and God will be removed forever. We will look into God's eyes and see what we've always longed to see: the person who made us for his own good pleasure. Seeing God will be like seeing everything else for the first time. Why? Because not only will we see God, he will be the lens through which we see everything else--other people, ourselves, and the events of our earthly lives.
"The redeemed will indeed enjoy other things.... But that which they shall enjoy in the angels or each other, or in anything else whatsoever, that will yield them delight and happiness, will be what will be seen of God in them." ~ Jonathan Edwards
