The Best Things 2

The best works are sprinkled with the blood of Christ.   The best company is Christian company.  The best thing to listen to is the word of God.  The best answer in an argument is often silence.  The best definition for Humility is to think rightly of yourself, that is, to remember your nothingness, and Christ's Greatness.  The best place to begin in the Bible is with Christ Himself; you will learn better and surer with Christ.  The best possible way to keep from falling is stay flat on your face at the feet of Jesus.

The best evidence of Salvation is an inward conflict with your sins.  The best way to strengthen your faith is more communion with Christ.  The best of men are afraid of little sins.   The best sermon is the one which is the fullest of Jesus.  The best safety is soul Safety in Christ Jesus - Safety is of the LORD. The best thing to fight with is your sins.  Prayer through the blood and name of Jesus is the best means of drawing near to God.  The best of prayers is only a beggar's cry at the throne of Mercy, asking for God's charity, for Jesus' sake.  The best soil for the word of God is an honest and good heart which hears the word, keeps it, and brings forth fruit with patience.  The best commentator of the Word of God is the Author, the Holy Ghost.

Christ Jesus is the Best of the Best.   The best good you can do is trust Jesus Christ with your soul, and then take up your cross, deny yourself daily, and follow Jesus, for this glorifies God.  Your best birthday is when you are born again - the New Birth.  Scripture is the best defender of Scripture.  The best time to trust to Jesus' Blood is always right now.  A tender heart is the best defense against sin and the best preparation for Heaven.  Most times the best prayers are sighs and groans.  The best delight is in the Lord and His word.  Your sinfulness and misery is your best argument for God's Mercy.  The best hope is that Jesus is coming again.  The best way to die is in Christ, for then you will be with Christ, which is far better.
