Applying this to Piper's situation in Eph 6:24, believing the grace was conditioned 'presumes' that the condition IS the work of the recipient.

Is becoming one who 'love's our Lord Jesus Christ with a love incorruptible'  an act we accomplish of our own doing?
Or is it a description of who God has made His elect to be?

  False.  You've earned the gift by meeting the condition.  We can say the 
  philanthorpist is generous.  But he is not gracious because he placed a 
  condition on the gift.
