What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
The Old Testament is the foundations of creation. God’s character is made known. We discovers what God’s plan and expectations are looking forward. The Old Testament helps us to know where we are going. The Old Testament provides the knowledge of sin through God’s ten commands which are the foundational commands that help us to understand our sin nature.
-
The Old Testament is still the word of God! The OT reveals God’s will, character, and morale law. We see the rich history of the covenant with Abraham and Israel. We see a glimpse of the future, and it all points to Jesus.
-
To help understand Gods character. Without the OT the NT will not be completely understood
-
To properly understand the reasons behind our desperate need for God’s saving grace!
-
Because it lays the foundation. It gives us the knowledge we otherwise wouldn’t have.
