Old Testament and New Testament
Why Christians use both Testaments and how the earlier Scriptures point to Jesus.
Old Testament and New Testament
Why Do Christians Use the Old Testament?
Christians use the Old Testament because Jesus himself said it pointed to him (John 5:39, Luke 24:27). The Old Testament is not a different religion — it is the same story, the first half, leading to the person and work of Jesus Christ. Christians do not read it as a separate law code but as preparation for the Gospel.
