    1. Personal Argument – work of the Holy Spirit (v2-5)​

                                      Perception Management​

                                      We carefully craft an image to the world of how we want to be seen.​

                                      Why? We want to be liked.

                                      Inauthenticity…​​

                                      1. Always harms the people closest to us
                                      2. Always harms our relationship with God

                                        3. Authenticity – genuine, bona fide, being actually and exactly what is claimed.

                                         

                                        How to live authentically? ​

                                          • If you are authentic & real others will follow……

                                          REMEMBER ​

                                          • There is nothing to hide​
