Old Testament
A knowledge of Old Testament history and Old Testament events is critical in having a complete understanding of God’s revealed will found in the New Testament. Much of the New Testament is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy or is the present reality which was dimly foreshadowed in the Old Testament. We have the tendency to overlook the Old Testament because it was written primarily to the Jews (Deut 5:1-3) and is no longer binding today (Heb 8:6-13; 10:9-10).
However, Paul emphasized the need for Christians to know and understand the Old Testament. “Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Cor 10:11). Also, “For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope” (Rom 15:4).
I encourage you to give a great deal of time and effort into learning these Old Testament history stories and facts. A knowledge of these points will help your understanding in studying the New Testament.
