LUKE 15:22, 1 COR. 12:31
-the father
said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a
ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
-But covet
earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.

I. THE
BEST METHOD OF TEACHING IS BY REPETITION
repetition
until it is a habit, you don’t have to think about it, 2 X 2=4, “How do you
spell relief?”
1. Given to
Israel [Dt. 6:1-9]
Now these
are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God
commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to
possess it: That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes
and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's
son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Hear
therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and
that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised
thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. Hear, O Israel: The LORD
our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command
thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently
unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and
when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest
up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy
house, and on thy gates.
2. Given in
Nature [Ps. 19:1-6]
The heavens
declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork . Day unto
day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech
nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through
all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a
tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and
rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the
heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the
heat thereof.
3. Given in
Scripture [Isaiah 28:10, 13] Ex. - the Gospels
-For precept
must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line;
here a little, and there a little:
-But the
word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line
upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might
go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
II. THE
BEST SUBJECT IN THE WHOLE WORLD IS YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY [salvation] there is nothing to compare it
1. It
Establishes Your Relationship with God [Jn. 1:12-13]
But as many
as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the
flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
2. It
Establishes Your Relationship with Others [1 Jn. 1:6-7]
If we walk
in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
3. It
Establishes your Responsibility to God and Man
[Rm. 1:14-16,
12:1]
-I am debtor
both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at
Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of
God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to
the Greek.
- I beseech
you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a
living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
III. THE
BEST SET OF TEXTBOOKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD ARE CONTAINED IN THE BIBLE [66 Books]

may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
