Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
The Old Testament tells us about the character of God and who God is. It sets the stage for Jesus and the entire New Testament.
-
It helps gives us the full picture of God’s great plan for redemption through Jesus. The entire Old Testament points to Jesus coming.
-
The old testament provides the foundation for the entire Bible, it also teaches us about Jesus Christ and Predicts his coming, puts his ministry into focus, preview his sacrifice for sin and tells of his judgment of the world and he’s coming kingdom. It also provides the foundation for the faith in Christ
-
The Old Testament is the foundation for the Messiah. It gives our history and our need for a savior. We can also see ourselves in the books written there.
-
It is the foundation for the Bible and shows us who God is and what our faith is based on
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
The New Testament refers to the Old Testament all the time. I would argue it is impossible to understand the New without the Old.
-
If we do not understand the old testament then we will not know what they are referring to in the new testament, and get very lost .
-
We wouldn’t have a full picture of how the events of the Bible come together, so then we would not learn all that God has for us.
-
If we do not have an understanding if God, His word or the prophecy of Jesus Christ, we cannot fully understand or know God.
-
Different characters and events in the Old Testament are mentioned in the New Testament. So without sufficient knowledge of the Old Testament, it could pose some challenges in understanding the New Testament.
