The Old Testament and the New Testament!!!

"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. "

Matthew 5:17

There are not two Bibles in the one. The old testament and the new Testament are not two distinct books, but parts of the same. The New Testament does not set aside the Old, but is simply the rich, ripe harvest of which the Old was the sowing and the early growing. The gospel which we have in the New Testament is not different religion from that which we have in the Old Testament, but the same more fully developed, more clearly taught. In the old testament Christ was foretold sometimes in prophetic promise, sometimes in picture and a type; in the new these promises are fulfilled, these pictures and types find their realization, and we see the Son of God walking among men in the beauty and glory of His incarnation.

The blossoms are not destroyed when they fall off and the fruit comes in their place; the ripe fruit is but the fulfillment of the promise and prophecy of the blossom. The artist's outline sketch is not destroyed when the splendid picture covers the canvas, hiding the first light tracings; the finished work of art is but the completion, the filling out of the original drawing until in every features life glows. Christ destroyed nothing of past Divine revelation when He came. He was the warm summer, wooing the slumbering buds and dry roots, and waiting prophecies of life into full, luxuriant growth. He was the great Master, taking the dim sketches and shadows of the old testament, and filling them out in His own blessed life and death. So we ought not to lay away the old testament as an antiquated book, of no value to us since we have the gospel. The old testament is full of precious things. One of the strongest proofs of Christianity is the wonderful fulfillment of Old testament prophecies in our life, sufferings, and death of Jesus Christ. Let us love the whole Bible; not one word of it is obsolete.

It is impt for us Christian or Not to understand tt the Bible contains two parts - The old and new testament... It is abt wat happen b4 Christ and During Christ n After Christ... It is a book of revelation and history of our belief... We are not to treat the Old Testament as a book of not use not emphasis too much on the teaching of the New testament... If u study the Bible carefully n read it carefully, u will notice that the Old and New Testament is an agreement to each other n a affirmation of our belief... So it is impt for Christian and non Christian to know tt the bible is not different books but is the same and it is a whole understanding of Christian Belief!!!
