The first principles of the oracles of God
Hebrews 5:12
"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." (Hebrews 5:12)
For a person just being introduced to the Christian faith, the many doctrines can be confusing and the deeper things of God they cannot understand. They need the first principles first. The basic fundamental truths that further teaching will be based on.
It is evident from this letter to the Hebrews that those who have been believers for same time, have times when they must go back and learn again the first principles.
Beginning first with the doctrine of scripture itself, the oracles of God (1 Peter 4:11) we then briefly cover the first principles under 3 heads:
1/ The first principles of God and man's existence
2/ The first principles of Salvation
3/ The first principles of personal saving faith
