"Consequently, if we try to make ourselves great, then we are actually reflecting our own egos in a greater and greater way. Wanting to reflect an idol of ourselves and to make ourselves appear greater leads to being made small because of judgment. But desiring to expand the glory of the true God and acknowledging his greatness by mirroring that glory and reflecting it back upon him leads to sharing in God's greatness and glory. Thus he is seen as the unique, massive, great One who inhabits the center of the entire created order."
G.K. Beale, We Become What We Worship, pg. 297.
