It was &#8220;nailed to the cross&#8221; (Colossians 2:14 KJV); &#8220;abolished&#8221; (2 Corinthians 3:13 KJV); &#8220;cast out&#8221; (Galatians 4:22-31 KJV) and &#8220;disannulled&#8221; (Hebrews 7:18 KJV). My question is, &#8220;As we study the Old Testament, do the above biblical facts minimize it&#8217;s profitableness to us today?&#8221; (Romans 15:4).<\/p>\n<p>No, not at all. In fact there are many ways in which a study of the Old Testament is of great value to us as Christians today. Let&#8217;s list a few below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament reveals sin<\/strong> (Romans 7:7; 1 Timothy 1:9). We can know of those actions that are in rebellion against God, and offend His holy nature by a better understanding of the Old Testament.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament warns of the consequences of disobedience<\/strong> (1 Corinthians 10:6-11; cf. Numbers 25:1-9).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament points us to Jesus Christ<\/strong> (John 5:39; Galatians 3:24; cf. 1 Peter 3:18).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament instructs us in salvation<\/strong> (2 Timothy 3:15).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament provides us with many examples of righteousness<\/strong> (Hebrews 11:1-40).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament give us hope<\/strong> (Romans 15:4; cf. 1 Corinthians 10:1-11).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament reveals the nature of God<\/strong> (Exodus 34:6-7; cf. Numbers 14:18; James 5:11).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Old Testament reveals the unfolding purpose of God<\/strong> (1 Peter 1:10-12). One of the most interesting studies is a study of the unfolding of God&#8217;s scheme of redemption. It is clearly visible in the unfolding of the Old Testament.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The next time anyone thinks a study of the Old Testament is a &#8220;waste of time,&#8221; I would remind the individual of the above biblical points. <strong>The Old Testament is Spirit-given Scripture<\/strong> (2 Samuel 23:1-2; cf. Matthew 22:41-45 ASV; Mark 12:36; Luke 16:31; Luke 24:44; John 5:46; Acts 26:22; Hebrews 3:7-8; 2 Peter 1:20-21) and should be respected as such by all Christians.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Value of Old Testament Study<\/li>\n<li>The Value of the Old Testament for Today<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A querist asks, &#8220;From my study of the Old Testament, I know the Law of Moses was given to the Jews and the Jews only (Exodus 34:29-35; Exodus 35:1).
