Are you honest enough..

I Corinthians 13:7
Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

Honesty begins by you being true to yourself. Being honest makes room for change, because the Lord can only forgive us if we truly confess our sins to Him. Sometimes you find that people lie about who they are and where they come from because they are ashamed of themselves. They want to fit into a particular class and the only way to do that is by lying about their past. Lying about your life can work temporarily but unfortunately the truth catches up with all of us eventually.

The world has to see honesty in us. The only way that a sinner can repent is by prayerfully being honest and true even about the wrong things in his life, and only then can he change and accept Jesus Christ as his Savior. If there is no difference between the good and bad then it  is no use repenting, because the believer is not sincere about changing and is still living the same dishonest life. Jesus Christ is being denied by the world today because His followers are conforming to the standards of this world. Let us renew our minds and live an honest and godly life in order for the world to see His light shine through us. (Romans 12:2)
