For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.
The key is whether or not we will be honest before God about our sin. We will either get bitter or better, depending on whether we will acknowledge our sin before God. Have you held anything from God (i.e. deceit) or have been totally transparent?
