Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
The Old Testament provides a foundation for us, and it shows why we need to fear, love and worship God.
-
Without understanding of the Old Testament, a reader would be confused in reading the New Testament. It would be like picking up a book and starting in the middle. We would learn a lot but would have so many questions. Who is that? What’s he talking about? We would not have a full grasp of the meaning and reasons behind so many things in the NT.
-
It provides the foundation for the whole Bible. Without this, I believe it would be hard to understand God’s love for us and why it was necessary to sacrifice His only Son for our sins.
-
The OT is the foundation, context ,and continual reminder we need of about God’s immutible and perfect Plan for our redemption set in Christ.
-
We wouldn’t understand why Jesus came.
