Of First Importance

  In the class of Calculus, everything is built on what is learned before it. For example, to integrate using substitution, you must first learn how to take the derivative of a function. And to learn how to take a derivative of a function, you must learn what a function is. To understand a function, you must understand the concept of x and at it to the concept of adding and subtracting. Therefore while it is great to be able to discuss integration by substitution, it would be lost without addition and subtraction.
   That is the seasoned Christian. It seems as some graduate if you will from the Cross and the Gospel. But this is our Salvation. And it does not matter how much scholarly information you can swallow about Religion, if you dont have the relationship from the Cross of Calvary, you really dont have what is first and foremost, and that is Christ dying for our sins.
