a good.
 A backslider is one who has given up ground once taken for God. Many a soul gives up in heart long before it is manifested in the life. (Proverbs Fourteen by H.A. Ironside)
 It is important, however, to carefully distinguish between backsliding and apostasy. The backslider is one who fails in practically carrying out the truth. The apostate, on the other hand, gives up the truth entirely, even denying the Lord that bought him; thus proving his unreality. (Proverbs Fourteen by H.A. Ironside)
 The good man—that is, the man who is real for God—shall be filled from what is in himself. The testimony of the Lord controls the reins of his being. (Proverbs Fourteen by H.A. Ironside)
