    One should study the Old Testament because it teaches us about God, and ourselves. It helps us to know who God is, why He created us, and how He wants us to live.

    To get to know about the wonders and miracles that God performed.
    To see how God cares and deals with His people.
    To understand the kind of people God wants us to be and what’s important to Him.

    Because if you believe in the Judeo-Christian God, you know He is unchanging. So the God of the Old Testament, is the God of the New Testament, who is the God today. So studying the Old Testament helps us to better understand who our God is.

    This question makes me think of the Bible Discovery Method. What does this say about man and what does this say about humans. In the Old Testament, we can truly differentiate those two things because you see a record before the Holy Spirit is given to God’s people. We see humans living apart from God, even though they worship God. So we study the Old to see God’s character. I love how we see all of God’s promises come to fruition, it makes me think how he is a God worth hoping in because he has an unblemished track record of fulfilling his Word.

    It tells us about history and about the covenant between God and His people. You cannot really understand what the New Testament is talking about without the background of the Old Testament.
