¥The
Old Testament was used to bring the message of Jesus
to Jews and to ÔGod-fearersÕ (non-Jews who
worshiped with the Jews).
¥The
Old Testament was used as a record of GodÕs activity
in previous centuries, as a revelation of
GodÕs character and of human nature, and a
guide for how believers ought to live.
¥The
New Testament was prepared to record the testimony
of the apostles, who would not be living much
longer, to the person & work of Jesus.
