The present writing seeks to set forth as plainly as possible, a set of fundamental doctrines central
to the Christian faith and essential as a foundation for progression and development in one’s
relationship with God. These represent what I believe should be amongst the first things or
principles that should be understood by all of God’s sons. These are also the first set of principles I
would teach to new believers. In my experience, there are many long-standing believers whose
understanding and practical subjective experience of these doctrines is found seriously lacking. This,
according to Scripture, would impede the path to spiritual maturity.
