We become what we behold. Everyone who fixes their eyes on Christ will one day be like Him glorified. Everyone who fixates on lesser things will one day be like them impotent and inadequate. Not only is it a matter of culmination, but a matter of process. Those who behold God are on their way to glorification even now passing from one glory to another on the path to utter glory while those who behold lesser things are on their way to nothingness even now passing from one debauchery to the next, one degradation and devolution to the next. We become what we behold without exception. This is the hope of the Christian and the devastation of the idolater.
