The Old Testament: Why We Need To Study It
The Old Testament makes up 77% of the Bible. Could you leave out 77% of another book and hope to get a clear understanding of the contents and its meaning? Why do we think its possible to do this with the Bible? The Old Testament is critical for 1 or 2 reasons : it tells the story of redemptive history, it uncovers God, and it gives us sympathetic experience.The Old Testament tells the story of redemptive history. History is the stage that shows us God's activity and self-revelation.
The incontrovertible fact that Christianity is a historical religion separates it from other faiths that might involve themselves with a philosophy of life, a technique of taking a look at things, an idea of about the universe, or a code of ethics or behavior. To be sure all these things are part of Christianity, but Christianity is distinct because it involves God breaking into history. That is the nature of the incarnate Christ. It was obligatory for God to break into history to redeem a folk lost in sin.
The Old Testament reveals God breaking into history and foretells the requirement for the approaching of Christ.The Old Testament unearths God. From the start of Genesis to the end of Malachi the words of the Old Testament show us God working in our world. They show how God interacts with man and how man should have interaction with God. They expose to us the incontrovertible fact that God wants all blokes to come to know Him and He is content to go to great lengths to make sure that can happen.
In the pages of the Old Testament we see a God who is merciful, merciful, loving, just, and jealous.The narrative sections of the Old Testament give us experience vicariously. Why is experience so crucial? Why do bosses look into the past experience of potential workers? Experience is the way that we really start to know something. When trying to teach someone something we typically try and use an illustration which can supply a vicarious experience to draw them in and help them understand the truth being taught.
Real information comes from experience. The narrative sections of the Old Testament help us grasp the truth.A Christian church without the Old Testament is in continual danger of turning the religion into varied sorts of gnostic, cryptic, or romantic speculating. Therefore it is important for Christians today to not only study but to comprehend the Old Testament. For without a knowledge of the Old Testament we are condemned to copy the past mistakes.
