Realising His greatness from the core of one's heart is the key to understanding the enormity of defying Allah, the Most High. If one contemplates in the greatness of Allah and his own infirmity and weakness before Allah, and his need for Allah at every moment of his life, the enormity and wrongness of his sins becomes glaringly obvious. Knowing the nothingness of one's own self before Allah, therefore, is an essential step in abandoning sins.
The axis of all success is belief in Allah's promises and admonitions; and if this belief dwindles or weakens in the heart, so does any hope for success. Allah has clearly told us that His verses and signs are of benefit only to those who believe in His promises and warning and fear the punishment of the afterlife:
"Indeed, in these there is a sign only for those who feared the Punishment of the Hereafter." [Al-Qur'an 11:103]
"You are a warner exclusively for those who fear it (the Last Day)." [Al-Qur'an 79:45].
