In justification the word to be addressed to man is believe - only believe; in sanctification the word must be 'watch, pray, and fight.'

Without a thorough conviction of sin, men may seem to come to Jesus and follow Him for a season, but they will soon fall away and return to the world.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

Nothing perhaps affects man's character more than the company he keeps

A sin...consists in doing, saying, thinking, or imagining anything that is not in perfect conformity with the mind and law of God

Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.

Where no visible fruit can be found, there you may be sure is no conversion.
