What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?

The reasons one should study the Old Testament because it reveals God’s character, sin, law of Moses, covenants, and most importantly the coming of Jesus Christ. Also, one will not be able to understand the New Testament without knowing the backstory of how it all began.

It tells us about God and who He is thru all the stories.
