If we comply with the expectations he has for us, we have the potential to be like him one day.

To me this principle makes perfect sense.
Just want to make a point on what you said --potential to be like Him one day.

Not be Him. He is and always will be God our Father and creator but just like a child growing up to be somewhat like their father or mother, we can maybe be gods (little g) and goddesses.
