Old Testament Overview

The entire Bible points us to Christ. The Old Testament points us to the coming Savior, while the New Testament shows us how to live like Christ. And, as we study the Bible alone or in a group setting, there are several questions we can ask ourselves to help us dig deeper. The five questions are:What does the scripture say about God?Then what does the scripture say about me?Does something in this passage challenge me?What gives me hope in this passage?Is anything unclear to me?Each book of the Bible contains lessons for us to learn and historical information. We must study God’s Word to see what to do and what not to do in life. Paul reminds us of the importance of the words within the text in 2 Timothy 3.2 Timothy 3:14-17; “14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
