Romans 6:16-23 --- 3 dire warnings that slaves of sin receive eternal death.
And being a slave of obedience is required to be righteous in God’s eyes.
And being a slave of righteousness is required to progress towards holiness.


Romans 8:5-6 --- Letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to (eternal) death.
Letting the Holy Spirit control your mind leads to (eternal) life and peace.


Romans 8:12-14 --- If you live by the dictates of your sinful nature, you will die (eternal death).
But, if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature,
you will live (eternal life). For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.


Acts 10:35 --- Those who fear God and work righteousness are accepted by Him.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 --- The unrighteous (unrepentant sinners) will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Parallel verses are Galatians 5:19-21 and Ephesians 5:3-6.
(Mark 9:47 together with Matthew 25:34-46 prove the kingdom of God is analogous to heaven.)


Galatians 5:4 --- These Jewish Christians became estranged from Christ and fell from grace.

Galatians 6:7-8 --- Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest eternal death.
Those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.


Philippians 2:12 --- Work hard to show the results of your salvation,
obeying God with deep reverence and fear.


1 Timothy 4:16 --- Keep a close watch on how you live and on your teaching. Stay true to
what is right for the sake of your own salvation and the salvation of those who hear you.


1 Timothy 6:9-19 --- Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into
many foolish and harmful lusts, which drown men in destruction/perdition (eternal death).
Rich Christians must use their money for good works so they may “lay hold on eternal life”.


Hebrews 5:9 --- Jesus became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. This does
not mean to obey/believe the gospel; loving Jesus results in obedience (John 14:15, 21, 23, 24).


Hebrews 10:36-39 --- Paul writes about “those who draw back to perdition (eternal death)”.

James 1:12-15 --- Those who endure the temptations to sin “will receive the crown of (eternal) life,
which the Lord has promised to those who LOVE Him.” (Those who LOVE Him obey Him, John 14.)
For those whose desire results in sin, their sin brings forth eternal death.


James 2:20, 26 --- O foolish man, faith without works is dead (margin: useless). In that great movie
“Homecoming”, Clark Gable’s name was Ulysses; his nurse (Lana Turner) called him “Useless”.


2 Peter 1:9 --- “forgetting that they have been cleansed (ONLY) from their old (past, previous) sins.”

1 John 3:7-10 --- Christians must not be deceived: he who does not practice righteousness
is not righteous in God’s eyes, and he is not of God, but he is a child of the Devil.
And Christians who do not LOVE their fellow believers are not of God.


Jude 20-21 --- Keep in the love of God, looking for the mercy of the Lord Jesus unto eternal life.

Revelation 2:10 --- Be faithful until your death, and you will receive the crown of (eternal) life.
Research it for yourself: “the crown of life” means eternal life!


Revelation 2:11 --- Those of us who are overcomers will not be hurt by the second death,
which means spiritual (eternal) death in the Lake of Fire (also stated in Revelation 21:8).


Revelation 3:5 --- Those who overcome will not have their names blotted out of the Book of Life.

Revelation 3:21 --- Jesus defines the word. Be like Him: overcome sin, the world, Satan, persecution.

Revelation 14:9-11 --- Everyone who takes the mark of the beast will go into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 20:4 --- Believers not taking the mark of the beast will reign with Christ for 1000 years.
The verse only mentions believers who are beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the
word of God (i.e. they endured to the end, being faithful to Jesus and His written word).


Revelation 21:7-8 --- Jesus is talking about ANYONE who is a habitual (unrepentant) sinner.
Christians cannot get away with things that non-believers cannot get away with. Kapish?


Revelation 21:27 --- No sinner gets to enter the city of The New Jerusalem.
Only those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life are allowed to enter The New Jerusalem.


And here are some of those famous “conditional “IF” passages”
1 Corinthians 15:1-2 … 2 Corinthians 13:5 … Galatians 6:9 … Colossians 1:22-23
… 2 Timothy 2:12 … Hebrews 2:1-3, 3:6, 3:14 … 2 Peter 1:10-11
Please, do not fail to pass these tests!


Note: All of the warnings, encouragements, etc. above were written ONLY to the churches.
There is no space here for Jesus’ many dire warnings in the 4 Gospels.
For those of you who don’t have a NT, I will happily send one to you upon request.
