What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
I think it’s important to study the Old Testament to gain knowledge and understanding of who we are, individually and collectively as humanity, but more importantly to understand who God truly is.
-
Some of the reasons that one should study the Old Testatment are, the Scriptures were written for our learning, we get see how much God cared for the children of Israel. Study of the Old Testament links us to the New Testament. God in the Old Testament is the same God revealed in the New Testament.
-
One reason the Old Testament should be read is because it lays the foundation for the Bible. The Old Testament also teaches us about Jesus and without the Old Testament the New Testament wouldn’t make any sense and visa versa. The Old testament also teaches us how to be in our Christian faith and teaches us how to follow God’s rules. We also learn about who God is and what he desires in His people.
-
The Old Testament is the foundation of understanding the New Testament. It is the opening of God’s book, explains His character and is a record of His mighty deeds. Without knowing these things about God, there is no true foundation for our faith in Christ.
-
It is the foundation to everything. We need to build our foundation to have a strong relationship with God
