The Old Testament is full of instruction. It introduces us to GOD in all HIS perfection, from creation to the promise to Abraham, to family disfunction and trials. IT highlights the character of GOD. Furthermore, it speaks of us, with poetry, teachers, prophets, warriors and so much more.
In short it is the foundation of our faith. It is imperative to know and understand where we came from to understand where we are going and why.
