Logically there is no difference between a sentence in 'if-then' form and a sentence that states the 'then' followed by 'if...'
For example:
If you want to understand this concept, then reread this blog several times
is logically the same as saying
Reread this blog several times if you want to understand this concept.
There is a literary difference, however. The second structure is easier to follow and should therefore be preferred for casual writing. Your friends will thank you just like you should thank me.
You're welcome.
You were there.
