Christ's
humanity occasions our divinity.

According to both Irenaus
and Athanasios, God became like us so that we might become like God. Clement
observes that through obedience one "becomes a god while still walking in
the flesh." Cyril avers that as we are called "temples of God and
even gods, so we are." Gregory Naziansus admonishes us: "Become gods
for His sake." The consensus of the church fathers and mothers is that the
purpose of Christ's coming is to endow us with life, divine life, endlessly
becoming. Good journey!
