The Old Testament Is Our Book Too

This is good to remember as we work our way through Genesis.

Paul House:
We do not have to work out some way to make the Old Testament our book, a Christian book. The OT people are our people. The OT believer was as much “in Christ” as we are. We know that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ, and that is a huge advantage for us, yet we are all “in” the same promise and person. They learned to look for and live for Christ before he came, and we do the same now that he has come.

By the way, we'll be in Genesis 15 this coming Sunday.
