[Petronski]

Let us then mark, that the end of the gospel is, to render us eventually conformable to God, and, if we may so speak, to deify us. ---Jean Cauvin

Interesting. Where's the source link for this material?

I found it! On a Google search.

“For we must consider from whence it is that God raises us up to such a height of honor. We know how abject is the condition of our nature; that God, then, should make himself ours, so that all his things should in a manner become our things, the greatness of his grace cannot be sufficiently conceived by our minds. Therefore this consideration alone ought to be abundantly sufficient to make us to renounce the world and to carry us aloft to heaven. Let us then mark, that the end of the gospel is, to render us eventually conformable to God, and, if we may so speak, to deify us.”

Now that is John Calvin. http://www.ccel.org/ccel/calvin/calcom45.vii.ii.i.html
