How do we know spiritual blessings are the best gifts from God?

In his commentary, Thomas Manton underscores that spiritual blessings, referred to as good and perfect gifts, are superior to worldly gifts because they contribute to our spiritual growth and ultimate perfection. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:11 affirms that if earthly parents know how to give good gifts, our heavenly Father will give even better gifts, notably the Holy Spirit, to those who ask. These spiritual gifts serve not only as initial grace but also as continuous support through our journey in faith, ultimately leading to eternal life. Hence, they satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts in ways that temporal blessings cannot.
