What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
To gain a better understanding of where we come from and where we are going.it will help us to learn who the sovereign God is and it teaches us about God’s character and attributes.
-
We should read and study the Old Testament because the Old Testament is the foundation for the New Testament. The Old Testament provides us with the foundation of Christ and helps us know God in factual, personal, and practical knowledge. Understanding it and how it makes the way for the New Testament.
-
I think it is really neat to understand that even before the world GOD created all this and man became a living soul. How sin came into the world and why things are the way they are today. The Old Testament answers a lot of questions about our lives.
-
The OT provides the foundation for the entire Bible. It tells us about our origins, about the character of God Himself, about a coming Messiah, and why we need that Messiah. It also instructs us on how to live.
-
The Old Testament reveals the character of God, the sin nature of humanity, and tells how things began and how things went wrong when humanity rebelled against God. It also tells us about the coming Messiah and points forward to Jesus. It tells the first part of God’s counter offensive against sin and evil. Plus, it is very difficult to understand much of what Jesus and the New Testament writers are saying without understanding the Old Testament.
