"God in life and nature but not in the Godhead"

One of the LSM's pet-phrases is "God becoming a man that man may become God in life and in nature, but not in the Godhead".

It is even described in the FTTA website as the "highest peak of the divine revelation" (http://ftta.org/about/purpose-and-goal/)

The phrase "God in life and in nature, but not in the Godhead" is unsatisfactory because it is too wide. If I became "God in life and nature", I would expect to also be omnipotent and omniscient since omnipotence and omniscience are part of God's nature. Even a staunch LSM believer would probably accept that Witness Lee and any aspiring overcomers were not and could never become omnipotent and omniscient.

Perhaps it is an impossible task to begin with:- But if you had to tell an unbeliever in one sentence what you thought was the "highest peak of the divine revelation" of the Bible, what would it be?

I would try modifying the LSM's phrase so that it now read "God redeeming man that he may be restored to the image of God".
