Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
To properly understand the reasons behind our desperate need for God’s saving grace!
-
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.
-
To learn about Gods Character. Who he is. What he has done and what he will do.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
We wouldn’t understand as well why Jesus came i.e. why He needed to come, or that God’s love is the motivator behind Jesus’ coming.
-
The Old Testament is a foundation for knowing God in historical facts and through the personal encounters experienced by its characters. Without knowing the history of God and His interactions with humans, our own history and ability to “fill in the blanks” our way leaves us with a skewed view that holds God at bay and limits our own story from being established.
-
The Old Testament is the foundation for the New Testament and if we don’t understand the Old Testament I think there will be a lot of misunderstanding and wonder about why things happened or what is going on in the New Testament.
-
it tells us about God.
it answers questions about how life began.
it tells how evil came into our world.
it prophesies of the Messiah-Redeemer.
it inspires us to holy living.
it fills our hearts with gratitude and praise.The O;d Testament has a lot of key people, places, and events that are important to know.
Some of the books in the old testament have been hard for me to understand. I’m learning now
to ask questions, and do research for things I don’t understand. The old testament leads us to the greatest thing.
Gods gift of the Savior! Jesus! -
Hi Porsha
I agree with you, the Old Testament explains why Jesus came to Earth as our saviour.
