The 'If' of Grace

The verse's opening "If" can sound like we must earn God's favor through perfect obedience. However, commentators like John Calvin explain that for believers, this "walking" is not about flawless performance. God graciously accepts our sincere, though imperfect, efforts to follow Him because of our faith and His pardon. Our obedience is a response to His grace, not a prerequisite for it.
