"Our only option, then, is honesty that leads to repentance. As the Bible shows, God's grace can cover any sin, including murder, infidelity, or betrayal. Yet by definition grace must be received, and hypocrisy disguises our need to receive grace. When the mask falls, hypocrisy is exposed as an elaborate ruse to avoid grace."
"What's So Amazing About Grace?" by Philip Yancey - Zondervan 1997.

Wow .....
Without realising it (since Grace)I have been fighting hypocrisy in my life. Shedding off the masks, rituals, cloaks all that stuff that I did to be MORE!
I feel sick at the thought!
Question:
Who are you really!
What is God seeing!
The first answer to your question that comes to mind is:
Us in Christ, and Christ in us.
That is our identity.
We are God's sons and that is how he sees us.
Another problem with masks is that one never sees the whole.
