We must be honest in our walk with the lord, and the contrary only leads to deception. To somehow make a god that suits our lifestyle would then be breaking the Commandment of "making a graven image". We would be rejecting the God of scripture and play The Potter and start to form a god that would accept your acts of sin as merely acts of pleasure. 

Being Honest entails, we must Repent of things that God abhors.

things that God has said in His Word that we should avoid and take no part in.

True Repentance looks ugly and too often we make it look cute, but the end product doesn't sell.

in-fact, true repentance usually follows with someone who desires to pursue Christ.

while a false repentance would lead someone to no conviction and no change.

①. What Does it mean to repent?

Turn away from Sin

⦁ Acts 3:19, Mark 1:15 

19 So turn away from your sins. Turn to God. Then your sins will be wiped away. The time will come when the Lord will make everything new.

" Chained by the habit of sin" Billy Grahams 

Act 17:30 "God commands all to people everywhere to repent"

Christians should welcome honest rebukes if that would mean that you have brothers who would keep you accountable in your walk with Jesus.

Example: Galatians 2:11-21 

Paul Rebukes Peter at Antioch
