How do we know that our walk is acceptable to God?
Answered in 1 source
Our walk is acceptable to God when it is rooted in faith, empowered by Christ, and aligns with His Word.
A walk that is acceptable to God is one that flows from a genuine faith in Jesus Christ and is sustained by His grace and strength. As stated in John 15, apart from Christ, we can do nothing; thus, it is through abiding in Him that we find the power to walk well-pleasing to God. The Apostle Paul emphasizes that our efforts in walking in righteousness do not earn us acceptance with God, as we are already accepted in Christ due to His merit. Our walk is not about meeting a standard to gain God's love but is a response to His love that calls us to live out a life that glorifies Him. The evidence of our walk being acceptable rests not in its perfection, but in its direction toward Christ.
