Basics is primary.
Basics are unavoidable and very necessary.
It’s the foundation.
What’s the essence of the secondary when the primary isn’t properly placed!
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?”
With which other building structures gain firmness and depth.
Let’s check our foundational doctrine and belief.
Lest other structures on it collapses.
We however don’t stop at the foundation.
Can a man having done the foundation of his house claim to have completed the building?
We move on to other and more heavier matters.
Meaning, foundation precedes other building structures.
However, other building structures is deeply rooted on the foundation.
Ensure to have a proper, appropriate and standard foundation.
Proceed to build on it.
“For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God…”
“And are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.”
“Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection.”
“Not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.”
“Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”
How then shall we be able to relate well with teachings on Melchizedek?
It’s high we went back checking and/or rebuilding.
Lest all we’ve built for years fall in the twinkling of an eye.
Remember, it’s far much easier to destroy than to build.
“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.”
“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon.”
“But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.”
“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
“Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.”
“Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.”
“If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.”
The Lord help us to see and make proper corrections.
Shalom!
