We Resemble What We Revere

A helpful yet convicting quote from Greg Beale's book, We Become What We Worship: A Biblical Theology of Idolatry -

All humans have been created to be reflecting beings, and they will reflect whatever they are ultimately committed to, whether the true God or some other object in the created order. Thus, to repeat the primary theme of this book, we resemble what we revere, either for ruin or restoration (italics in original).
