2 Corinthians 5 Are you manifesting yourself unto God?

11Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

We are reviewing this verse again today because I received a question:

What exactly does "but we are made manifest to God" mean?

Here is some commentary on manifest;

But we are made manifest unto God - The meaning of this is, probably, that God sees that we are sincere and upright in our aims and purposes. He is acquainted with our hearts. All our motives are known to him, and he sees that it is our aim to promote his glory, and to save the souls of people. This is probably said to counteract the charge which might have been brought against him by some of the disaffected in Corinth, that he was influenced by improper motives and aims. To meet this, Paul says, that God knew that he was endeavoring to save souls, and that he was actuated by a sincere desire to rescue them from the impending terrors of the day of judgment.

made manifest unto God; he knoweth what we are, and how we have behaved ourselves: and 

I trust we have so behaved ourselves, that we are not only made manifest unto God, but we 

are made manifest in your consciences; so as your consciences will bear us a testimony, how we have behaved ourselves amongst you.

Some followers thought Paul had improper motives and aims in promoting Jesus Christ. So he was explaining his motives and conscience. 

I suspect it was due to his previous life before salvation? Or jealousy had sprung up in the disinfected church? 

Paul was promoting Gods salvation through Jesus Christ everywhere he went. Manifesting unto God. His conscience and behavior was bearing a testimony.

Are you made to manifest unto God?

Is your conscience and behavior bearing a testimony?

When you become ashes to ashes, dust to dust, what will people say about you? 

Genesis 3:19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
