What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
The Old Testament is a “Treasure House of Wealth”. It provides a foundation for the whole Bible and tells us about God and His nature and Character. It tells us about Jesus Christ and His purpose for coming and puts ministry into focus. It provides a foundation for faith in Christ and shows us how the Old and New Testaments tie together.
-
This is what we need to have a better understanding of the coming of Jesus Christ.
-
I believe it shows us where we need to be spiritually with God. It shows us our beginning.
-
The story of God’s redemption plan starts in the very beginning of the Bible. Woven throughout the Old Testament are stories and prophecies that point towards the coming of Jesus Christ and the salvation of man through his blood sacrifice on the cross for the sins of the world.
-
It tells the “whole” story of creation with God’s promises that lead to His fulfillment of them. It’s the scaffolding of our faith.
