The Old Testament is the beginning and the foundation of all things, to study it is to know about the God who created the universe, His ways, acts, and His relationship with mankind.
The study of the Old Testament helps us to understand the redemptive work of Christ, right from the first book of the OT.
It helps us to understand the great love God has for mankind. -
We must read and study the Old Testament so that we could see how the redemptive plan of God takes shape in relation to humankind. Must study the Old Testament to learn of the will and character of God. The Old Testament is the beginning and the New is the ending.
