From Genesis 1:1, the story of humankind is narrated by God. The OT is important in order to better understand the NT.

As stated, the Old Testament is the foundation of the Bible and it teaches of God’s character and love. Why things occurred then, but also can be seen in todays world.

To know God…factual knowledge and personal. It shows us how we are to live as God’s children.
-
The Old Testament provides information about God that helps you understand Him more. You can’t love someone if you don’t know them, and the Old Testament provides a solid foundation for further spiritual education.

To understand where the world began. To get to know the nature of God, his omnipotence, and his love. It reveals our history, prophesies, and the very reason why we are here in the first place.
