The Old Testament was spiritual 

New Testament: Rom 7.14

To read the Bible in a year, read Romans 7 on August 6, In the year of our Lord Christ 2024

Unfortunately, most Christians have a negative view of the Old Testament, and you will hear them repeating what they have heard from others about what they think was the problem with the Old Testament. 

If they read all the Bible, they would not conclude that anything was wrong with Genesis through Malachi. 

For example, many of these Christians will say that the Old Testament was outward and not spiritual, but listen to the Holy Spirit speak through Paul: “For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin” (Romans 7.14). 

If you believe that the Old Testament was not spiritual or inward, are you now ready to revise your belief? 

Questions: 

  • Was the problem: the Law of Moses or man? 
  • Do you read the Old Testament?
