    The Old Testament teaches you right from the start of how powerful God really is.
    You know right from the start about good and evil.
    People like Noah, Moses, Joshua, and Abraham set the events for the coming of Christ!
    The Old Testament is the beginning of the journey to knowing our Savior!

    Hi Lisa
    I agree with you. The Old Testament is our history that God wants us to learn about and sets the scene for Christ’s coming.

    You should learn about the Old Testament because it is where the story of God begins. It tells us how the world came to be and it proclaims the promises of the new life Jesus will bring. It helps us to understand God’s characters; how is loving, just and true.

    Oh shoot…I had a paragraph at least for an answer here that I was almost finished with and somehow it totally got erased! Is there anyway to save this text so you don’t loose it?
    Some of the reasons why you should study the Old Testament are pretty obvious to some. I think first off that the Old Testament is the Word of God, just as much as the New Testament is the Word of God. In Genesis we read ” In the beginning,” which is history as way back as God wants us to know.
    So, the Old Testament gives us the History of the beginning of the Christ Story.
    I also think that we absolutely need to study the Old Testament because this is where God gives us His Law. We see in His Law that no one is able to keep it,
    we are all sinners and need a solution to be reconciled to Him.
    We can use Proverbs for teaching young and old. To me it is the book of wisdom. God’s wisdom and worldly wisdom are two different things.
    The book of Psalms shows us how to worship God, how to Praise God, how to lament or repent. We also see in Psalms that we can go to Him for protection,
    strength, courage, and rest.
    There are so many reasons to study the Old Testament. How about that it prepares us for the New Testament and the New Covenant that God made with His people, primarily the Jewish people in the Old Testament but to all people in the New Testament.
