š Is the Old Testament Still Relevant?
Exploring the Value of All Scripture for Christians Today
Many people view the Old Testament as a book of outdated rulesāirrelevant to modern Christian life. But Scripture itself tells a different story.
⨠All Scripture Is God-Breathed
2 Timothy 3:16 (AMP)
āAll Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to Godās will, both publicly and privatelyābehaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage].ā
This includes the Old Testament. Its laws, stories, prophecies, and patterns are not obsoleteāthey are profitable. They teach us how to live, how to worship, and how to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
