Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
The Old Testament shows the foundations of creation, the calling of God’s people, prophecies of Christ, understanding the ongoing revealing of the person of God, and very important theological concepts.
-
The Old Testament sheds light on the New Testament, the Old Testament provides the foundation for the entire Bible, helping us clearly understand God’s plan of redemption right from the beginning of the world through Jesus. The Old Testament clearly affirms the creation of the world and from there we understand Him better
-
We should study the Old Testament in order to learn about who created the universe and why our relationship with our creator was broken because of sin. Another reason to study the Old Testament is so that we can learn from the past and see how Jesus is the only one who could have fufilled its prophecies.
-
to help understand the time before Christ as it relates to the law
to understand the creation story and the foundation of many part of faith
-
The Old Testament is the foundation for what we as believers base our faith on. The building blocks of our faith. The Old Testament is how we learn about the characteristics of our God and what is expected of us as believers.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
Without foundations your faith is shallow. Not only that, you miss the whole context and fabric of who you are in Jesus.
-
It answers the big questions the New Testament does not. It gives us fuel for the ministry as well as an understanding for who the God head of the Trinity really is. Without the understanding of the historical and prophetical side of the Old Testament then its going to be hard to see the plan for the bible and ultimately your life.
-
The Old Testament provides the foundation upon which the New Testament is built. It offers the theological, historical, and cultural context necessary to fully grasp the teachings, narratives, and symbolism of the New Testament. A lack of knowledge of the Old Testament can result in a limited understanding of the broader biblical narrative and the rich theological connections between the two testaments.
-
The coming of Jesus is so based on the all the things that are happening in the OT. Who God is, How to save us from sin. We won’t truly be amazed by Jesus and NT until we have a deep understanding of OT.
-
Because we wouldn’t understand not having the whole story. We need the old and new testament as a whole.
