Written by Pastor Jack Wellman14 Awesome Quotes about the Old Testament
As Christians, we believe that the whole Bible is the true Word of God. We rejoice in the Good News of the New Testament that tells us all about Jesus and what He did for us. But does that make the Old Testament unimportant? Not at all! God is the same God today as He was in Genesis. Here are some thoughts about the Old Testament and the Bible as a whole:
