Faith, Humility, Obedience, and Love. What do these have in common? They are all gospel "first's".
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the first principle of the gospel.
Humility is the precursor of all spiritual growth, said Elder Bruce R. McConkie.
Obedience is the first law of heaven (and earth, said Elder Jeffery R. Holland).
Love of God and neighbor make up the first great commandments.
Occupying such preeminence in the gospel plan, how we ought to always measure ourselves against these four first's.
The other two principles that closely relate to these in preeminence are gratitude and sacrifice.
