The Old and New Testaments in the Holy Bible are of equal importance in relation to one another. In the Old Testament, we see the Creation story, the Law of Moses, and the prophets, and in the New Testament, we see the life of Jesus Christ, the work of the Apostles, and the end of time. In the Old Testament we see the trials, tribulations, and victories of the Israelites, and their journey with God. In the New Testament we see a widening of God’s blessings through his son, Jesus Christ. In the New Testament, we see in Romans 15:4, the Apostle Paul write, “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. This means that while the New Testament is more palatable in the present day in terms of making covenants with God, that the Old Testament is relevant, significant, and meritorious, and is here for our learning. I prefer to study the Old Testament and the New Testament in unison so as to gain historical, cultural, scriptural, and spiritual insights.
