How do we know that believers are made honest by God?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are made honest by God’s grace, which transforms their hearts and inclines them to recognize their sin and need for Christ.

The transformation of a believer's heart is foundational to understanding honesty in one's relationship with God. Believers are made honest by the power of the Holy Spirit, who replaces a heart of stone with a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26). This change enables them to view themselves truthfully—recognizing their inherent sinfulness while also grasping the beauty of being justified by faith in Christ. In Luke 8:15, Christ speaks of those with 'an honest and good heart,' which points to the Spirit's work distinguishing His people. They are now able to bear fruit and acknowledge their need for God actively.
