The Old/New Testaments

Have you ever wondered the differences between the Old Testament and the New Testament or how they easily work together? I got this a while ago and thought it was a great and simple explanation of how the Bible works together.

The New Testament is CONTAINED in the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is EXPLAINED in the New Testament.

The New Testament is CONCEALED in the Old Testament.

The Old Testament is REVEALED in the New Testament.

The New Testament AUTHENTICATES the Old Testament.

The Old Testament ANTICIPATES the New Testament.

The New Testament LIES HIDDEN in the Old Testament.

The Old Testament LIES OPEN in the New Testament.

The Old Testament PREDICTS a Person.

The New Testament PRESENTS that Person.1

Here’s what was written about the Bible in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 as paraphrased by The Message:

Every part of Scripture is God-breathed and useful one way or another--showing us truth, exposing our rebellion, correcting our mistakes, training us to live God's way. Through the Word we are put together and shaped up for the tasks God has for us.
