This sounds like the correct answer ...
but is it?

All gifts are FREE to Keep
When giving a Gift to someone you love or appreciate, you give that Gift with no future strings attached. No one check the receiver's conduct over the following year to see if they are able to keep the Gift. We give it out of love and the receiver is FREE to keep it no matter how good or bad the outcome.

If the receiver's keeping of the Gift is dependent upon future behavior, then it is no longer a gift, but wages, reward, payment, etc. A Gift is FREE to keep, no matter how good or bad the receiver becomes.

Likewise with the Gift of Eternal Life. God offers it totally free. Your attempts to do something to keep it, is a disappointment to God and may cause Him to discontinue fellowship, but He is still your Father  and you are still His son, Saved.
