Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
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.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
We would not have the background we need to understand the New Testament completely. The Old and New Testaments are intertwined together and they also enrich one another.
-
Because The Lords sovereign plan laid out in the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament. Most of the New Testament IS the Old Testament.
-
We wouldn’t fully understand why God sent his only son into the world to save us.
The Old Testament is filled with Triumph and strife. We were lost in sin.
The Old Testament sets up the New Testament. -
To know the new testament you have to spend time in the old testament because the whole time in the old testament it is revealing who Jesus is. The prophecy spoke about who he is the whole time and how many encounters that Jesus fulfilled in the New Testament.
-
The Old Testament shows the journey of God and the israelites and the creation of the Law with all the prophecies being fulfilled as well.
