Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
To know the origin of mankind, the history of God, his character, why Jesus had to come, how sin entered the world, and many other facts.
-
Bc it reveals who God is and prophesies of the coming king. It’s the foundation of scripture.
-
Foundational knowledge. Develop the full idea of who God is, why things happened, and what the purpose of the NT is.
-
We should study the Old Testament because these are the scriptures that Jesus had, so they provide the foundation for all of His life and the New Testament. They provide foreshadowing and prophecy of His birth, life, death, and resurrection. The Old Testament also teaches us about us- our past history and our future hope.
-
To know God.
To understand the problem of sin.
To know ourselves.
To meet Jesus
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
The new testament is all informed by the old testament. Much of the ways that Christ and the apostle talk about sacrifice and other topics are referring to the old testament.
-
Because Old Testament is intro to New Testament and without knowing what happened in old days, we would have hard time to understand New Testament
-
The OT is foundational to our understanding of the NT. It provides the prophecy that the NT answers.
-
The New Testament cannot be interpreted correctly apart from the Old Testament. When the New Testament authors wrote about Jesus teaching and explaining the Scriptures, and as they wrote about sharing “the Word” with others, it was the Old Testament Scriptures that were being taught, explained, and shared.
-
We would not understand our need for Jesus. We would not see how great Jesus was / is because He fulfilled the law and prophecies of the Old Testament.
