ome people wonder if Christians still need the Old Testament. After all, we live under the New Covenant through Jesus Christ.
But Jesus Himself said, “I did not come to destroy the Law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them.” (Matthew 5:17)
The Old Testament reveals God’s character, the reality of sin, the need for redemption, and the promises that point directly to Christ. It helps us understand why Jesus came and the incredible grace He offers.
Because of Christ, we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. He paid the price we could never pay ourselves. Yet the lessons, wisdom, and promises found in the Old Testament still have much to teach us today.
The entire Bible tells one story: God’s plan to redeem His people through Jesus.
