Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
In the old testament we receive the foundation of why God made man, the purpose of man and how to achieve a good life. The Old Testament gives you a foundation on how it all began and how it leads up to the New Testament.
-
The NT reveals what the OT conceals. The OT provides the foundation for the whole Bible.
-
Because a lot of what’s in the N.T has to do with the O.T. Paul mentions a lot of what happened the O.T especially some of the laws and w/out an understanding of Paul is saying we would be lost in the sense of not understanding him.
