Being People Without Wax! (Part Two)

God is not impressed with insincerity pretense. As believers in Jesus, God eliminates any need for us to live in pretense or with wax! We are freed to live authentically, having been pronounced righteous before God. According to 2 Corinthians 4:7, I am a clay jar that is quite flawed. And my sin nature is a deceptive marketing merchant. It does not want you or anyone else to see your defects. It wants to hide the defects behind a deceptive wax. It wants to sell others a better version of you than is real.
