REVELATION IS NOT A TICKET

Revelation does not authomatically lead to transformation. It is one's response to what is revealed that determines the impact of revelation on one's life. Paul chose not to be disobedient to the "heavenly vision" at his encounter enroute Damascus (Acts 26:19), meaning, he could still have risen up from his epiphany, unyeilding to the gracious voice that  had spoken from heaven, and walked away hardened by resisting the high calling of God.

Our response to the Divine encounters on our life journey is significant to who or what we eventually become in view of God's purpose for our lives. Divine revelation is not a fiat to transformation. Our obedience is a deciding factor.
