They are both connected and seperate. They are connected in the fact that they are the word of God. They are seperated in the fact that the OT is before Jesus and the NT is Jesus life on. We read both for a number of reasons. One is that to understand why things were said or done in the NT we must read the OT. For example, why did Jesus have to die on the cross in order for us to be set free? You can find the answer in Leviticus 17. Proof that Jesus life and death were also foretold in the OT (particularly in Isaiah chapter 53) telling us that He was the promised Messiah. The history of the nation of Isreal is also found throughout the OT which tells us a lot of how and why the Isrealites were the way they were. I have come to understand the NT much better after studying the OT. prayon |
