The Value of the Old Testament Today



What value do the teachings of the Old Law have today? Are they binding as law? Do they benefit us as evidence for our faith, history, and understanding of the nature of God and of man? Are there principles that are unchanging under both Old and New Testaments? Can the Law of Moses help us understand and appreciate the gospel?
