DOES THE BIBLE END WITH O.T OR BEGINS WITH N.T?

By Peace Wobo

Some people will always say that they prefer Old Testament to New Testament, some other will say that Old Testament is old and has passed away so let’s embrace the New Testament because it’s new. Many folks with different opinion and individual perception of the Bible.

Both Old and New Testament makes up the Bible. They can’t be separated, neither can one be accepted and the other rejected. I gained something from my quiet time which I will like to share here. "It is necessary for us to note that the Old and New Testament go together. “The New is in the Old concealed; the Old is in the New revealed”. We cannot get a grasp of what the Old Testament is saying unless and until we read it with the mind-set of the fuller revelation contained in the New Testament”.

In my own simple terms: The New Testament was hidden in the Old Testament while the Old Testament is revealed in the New Testament. The word of God cannot be divided.

The Bible is complete.

See some Old Testament Prophecies fulfilled in the New Testament:

Micah’s prophecy in Micah 5:2 fulfilled in Matthew 2:1-6

Psalms 69:21 is seen in Mark 15:23 and John 15:25

Psalms 45:6-7 we see that God was referring to Jesus in Hebrews 1:8-9

Isaiah 61:1-2 was fulfilled in Luke 4:17-19

Leviticus 11:44 was quoted by Peter in 1 Peter 1:15-16

Even the devil quoted Psalms 91:11-12 to Jesus in Matthew 4:6

You can also compare the prayer of David in Psalms 69:22-28 to the pattern of prayer Jesus taught us in Matthew 5:43-45. The New Testament teaches us not to pray the kind of prayer David prayed for our enemies, but we should rather follow the pattern of prayer Jesus taught us.

The New Testament is the fulfilment of the Old Testament. God deals with us based on the blood of Jesus Christ which speaks better things and pours out His love in our heart which makes us better persons.

I can go on and on with list of Scriptures in the New Testament revealing the Old Testament but I will just stop here for today. Accept the Bible wholeheartedly and grasp all that God has for you in both Old and New Testament.
