What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?

This question makes me think of the Bible Discovery Method. What does this say about man and what does this say about humans. In the Old Testament, we can truly differentiate those two things because you see a record before the Holy Spirit is given to God’s people. We see humans living apart from God, even though they worship God. So we study the Old to see God’s character. I love how we see all of God’s promises come to fruition, it makes me think how he is a God worth hoping in because he has an unblemished track record of fulfilling his Word.

The Old Testament answers the questions of who God is, how life began, how evil began, and how Jesus would come to save us as well as how we can live a holy god honoring life.

The Old Testament is the foundation of the Bible and introduces us to our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
