Because it lays the foundation. It gives us the knowledge we otherwise wouldn’t have.

One should read the Old Testament because it lays the foundation for the New Testament. It helps gives us the complete story. It tells us why. It also gives us insight to get to know God on a more personal level.

to know the work of God throughout his redemption story and for us to understand the culture of His people will give us a better understanding of history itself.

Well we would’nt completly understand or appreciate its teaching. Also to keep us inform of the Basic Truths, the coming of Jesus the purpose and our factual ,personal and practical knowlege of God.

Whatever happens in the New Testament is a fruition of what remotely occurs in the Old Testament. Therefore a solid understanding of the New Testament is dependent on a good knowledge of the Old Testament.

LAck of knowledge of the Old Testament would weaken our understanding of the new Testament as we would not know the foundations of everything. We would not know God’s story, our Story and story of everything that is created. Without Old Testament we cannot understand a New Testament.
