<strong>Foundations</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Faith</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>Chapter</strong> 1<br />
FOUNDATIONS: A PREREQUISITE<br />
A good foundation is a prerequisite for constructing a sound building in the<br />
natural world. The word "prerequisite" means that it is "required before.” A<br />
proper foundation is required before constructing the "superstructure.” The<br />
"superstructure" is that which is built on the foundation.<br />
A proper spiritual foundation is a prerequisite to spiritual maturity. In<br />
Hebrews 6:1-3 we are told we cannot go on to perfection unless the<br />
spiritual foundation is properly laid. Spiritual maturity is the superstructure<br />
[the building] which rests on the spiritual foundation. If the foundation is<br />
wrong then the superstructure will not stand and you will never achieve<br />
spiritual maturity.<br />
