Old Testament
The entirety of Your word is truth.
Psalm 119:160
Some Christians wrongly think that the Old Testament is no longer relevant. However, their claim is invalid because it is God’s holy Word, and He has much to teach us through its every page. The Lord Jesus said, “Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled” (Matthew 5:18). Just what is a tittle? Something as small as a dot.
The Bible reveals just how often Jesus quoted from the Old Testament—He was the Word, and said, “Scripture cannot be broken” (John 10:35). The apostles often quoted the Old Testament Scriptures.
Many people get their belief about the Bible from second-hand sources. A smattering from Biblical film epics, some radio and television programmes, hearsay, and courses on comparative religion give man’s view of Scripture. In school or college classes, students take courses in “the Bible as literature.” Many times these classes are used to undermine the faith of young people unless there is a teacher who understands the Bible and has a strong faith in God.
What needs transformation is human nature. We must make the entire Bible part of our daily lives. God blesses those who read and believe His entire Word. His truth is the great, all-prevailing truth that will stand for time and eternity.
