“You are truly my disciples, IF you remain faithful to my teachings” (John 8:31)
Being faithful to Jesus and His teachings means obeying His commandments!
“IF anyone loves Me, he will obey My word; and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (John 14:23)
“… you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.
For IF you live by its dictates, you will die (eternally).” (Romans 8:12-13)
“IF through the power of the Holy Spirit you put to death the deeds
of your sinful nature, you will live (eternally).” (Romans 8:13)

IF you continue to believe the message I told you” (1 Corinthians 15:1-2)
“And let us not grow weary while doing good,

IF we do not lose heart.” (Galatians 6:9)
“He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death,
to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight —
IF indeed you continue in the faith …
and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel” (Colossians 1:22-23)
“IF we endure, we shall also reign with Him.” (2 Timothy 2:12)
If we endure, faithfully obeying Jesus and His commandments, we're good to go!
“So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard,
or we may drift away from it … every act of disobedience was punished.
So what makes us think we can escape,
IF we ignore this great salvation” (Hebrews 2:1-3)
“And we are God’s house, IF we keep our courage and
remain confident in our hope in Christ” (Hebrews 3:6)

For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance
into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 1:10-11)
“IF we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
“IF we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)
“We can be sure that we know Him, IF we obey His commandments.” (1 John 2:3)
These are most of the obvious CONDITIONAL verses (which have “IF” in them).
But, there are many other CONDITIONAL NT verses which have no “IF” in them.
These NT verses (plus many others which have been posted) PROVE:
Salvation is a process in which believers must co-operate with God!
Salvation is a free gift. Perhaps a girl you knew had strings attached to her gifts.
God is not like that.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
