So we can fully know who God and Jesus are.
So we will have a history of God’s creation and his love for man.
So many of the characters in the Old Testament show their human side where they fail and then repent thereby receiving redemption. This can help us in recognizing that we too can fall but still obtain redemption if we repent. -
1 it tells of God’s purpose, the creation of life.
2 it speaks of his character; of his great love for his children
3 it prophesies the coming of Jesus Christ
4 it teaches us how we should live -
The old testament is my favorite book why do I enjoy studying the old testament. Because it gives a history in a lineage of who God is and where Jesus came from. And the prophets spoke about it all the time.

To understand the connection it has with the New Testament and how they both are in sync with each other, which is to give us a complete picture of God and how Jesus is seen woven through the Old Testament before we get to the New Testament.

You won’t have a good understanding of what is coming in the New Testament. You need to lay the foundation in order to build a sound structure.

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.
