Those who love Christ also love doing what is right. If someone still struggles with doing right they might not be born again. When we fail God we hate it and want to confess, start again and do better.
Those who find it impossible to admit their flaws, who hide to protect their false persona, are living fleshly.
It should come easy for the born again believer to tell the truth about themselves, good, bad and ugly.
2 Timothy 4:1-22
"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. ..."
1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
