Bible Question: Is the old testament mere history? Is there some importance in it? |
Bible Answer: Hello JCLT2 Be relieved that I am a man of few words. :-) I give the accompanying verse as only one of the many which shows the tremendously important place the OT has in the believer's life. Every book points to the Lord Jesus in some aspect. The prophecies concerning who He is, what He did, and what He will yet do are worth the price of reading. Our entire concept of sin and atonement comes from the OT. Most of our understanding of worship comes from there. The testimony of those who lived faithful lives are to be an encouragement to us today (Heb 11-12). That's just a tiny piece of its worth. Steve |
