The Old Testament is a type of shadow of things to come. From Moses to Christ - they were under the law. From Christ's time to now (until His return) we are under the age of grace. Those under the law were judged under the law - and, as you know, they were treated accordingly.

Before that, man thought he was righteous but lived anything but - then come the law to show them what 'righteousness' was - God's righteousness and man could not ever attain it. Thus, we needed a Savior to cover our sins.

Jesus came as our Savior for all our sins and that gave us a covering and could regain fellowship with God. Without that blood covering, there is no fellowship w/God. Salvation is a free gift - it is by grace THROUGH faith that we receive it - and not by good works.

Oh.

Recall, if you will, that the Christ was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died a Jew. The “Last Supper” was a Seder meal and Jesus never rejected the Torah or the Laws given to Moses. Jesus was always referred to as “Rabbi”, or “teacher”.

The importance of the Old Testament should never be questioned.

That is probably one of the BEST summaries of the Bible that I have ever read. Well done!
