Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
It tells of who God is. It promises the coming of a Savior and the NT cannot be understood without the OT.
-
To learn about God, and to gain a better understanding of Jesus and how we can be certain of who Jesus is.
-
Much of the old testament is quoted in the new testament. SCripture is all one story of a redeeming God. Without the old testament, we will be missing part of the story.
-
To understand God’s character, to be able to understand New Testament better
-
The Old Testament teaches us the character of God. It reveals to us the reason for Christ coming as the Word made flesh to dwell among. The Old Testament is filled with truth and it teaches us how to live in revelation of our Holy God and Creator.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
We wouldnt grasp the foundation of the new testament.
-
When building a house you need a good foundation. Same for biblical studies, a good foundation is the way to go and the Old Testament is that foundation.
-
Without the Old Testament, the story of GOD and man is incomplete. People need to understand that you learn so much about God forgiveness more in the Old Testament than even in the New. I believe this is because of how often God had come to the rescue of individuals and collective groups of people. He judged, punished, and he forgave so much. People can learn a lot about his character in the Old Testament as well.
-
The Old Testament is the foundation of humanity and the description of the character of God. It holds the expectations and promises that the New Testament will unfold, reveal and complete. The Old Testament contains the characters and events that define our need for a Savior.
-
We have to understand the root or history of the earth to understand the process and the present.
