front-page.php and page.php

Hi, i am making a theme, new to the whole thing, i was working the styles and html on the front-page.php file, up until now, so decided to star with the page.php for the other sections of the website.

I added a div to this file, and now my homepage is loading both the main content div from front-page.php and the one i added for page.php, this kind of makes sense, my static page is still a page, but i was told wordpress could tell the difference between a regular page and your home page and load the templates accordingly, i surely missed a step.
