It is used to describe the foundational elements of a building, emphasizing the importance of a solid and secure base. This concept is often metaphorically extended to describe the foundational principles or truths upon which other ideas or systems are built.

The foundation is portrayed as a critical component that determines the strength and durability of the entire edifice.
• Theologically, the concept of a foundation is also applied to spiritual truths and doctrines, suggesting that just as a physical building requires a strong foundation, so too does a life of faith require a firm grounding in divine truth.
