Discussion Questions
-
What are some reasons one should study the Old Testament?
-
Jesus considered the OT to be the word of God.
In order to better understand the new Testament. -
To get a full understanding of who God is and how man should be in total dependence with God.
-
To know why a saviour was needed, to know why we exist and who we are.
-
To gain a solid foundation and understanding of God and his word.
-
To better understand the character of God. Specifically his holiness. You also get an understanding of the history of people. We have consistently fallen short for thousands of years. The Old Testament helps us see how much we need Him. The old testament also speaks of the coming Christ who would save his people from their sin. There is something powerful about something so profound coming true years later.
-
Why would a lack of knowledge of the Old Testament weaken our understanding of the New Testament?
-
We would fail to understand the context of the New Testament, as it is built on the culture, government, and other factors of the Old Testament. History that is unknown also tends to repeat itself.
