We realize our spiritual potential to the measure in which
we are raised towards God and united with Him.
No one can become God.
Yet because Jesus Christ is God Incarnate,
our motivation to aspire to the divine nature is a possibility .
Our new life in Christ causes a recreation of our nature.
It is a work of the Spirit which requires our lifetime's cooperation.
Psalm 82:1 & 6 NIV
1 God presides in the great assembly
he gives judgment among the "gods"
6 I said, " You are gods
you are all sons of the Most High.
Being "born of God" makes us "sons of the Most High"

Ephesians 3:14-19 NASB
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on the earth derives its name,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints
what is the length and the height and the depth,
and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 4:4-6 NKJV
4 There is one body and one Spirit,
just as you were called in one hope of your calling
5 one Lord, and one faith, one baptism;
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all
and through all , and in you all.
