Suppose that you're quite an evil person at your core. If God wants you to be honest to yourself, then you must act authentically to who you are at your core.

But I don't think that's right. If you're quite an evil person at your core, wouldn't a good person--divine or otherwise--want you do choose to be different? To care more for others, etc.?

No, that has nothing to do with being honest with oneself. If you are evil, then the honest and good thing to do, would be to recognize you are and then regret it and reform yourself. To listen to your concsious. The dishonest thing to do if you are evil, is to pretend your good and act as if you are.
