I will end my short study of why we need the Old Testament with the book of Psalms, the most quoted book in the New Testament. If Jesus and the writers of the New Testament thought it important enough to quote it, surely, it is important for us.

Psalm 1 – We learn who the blessed person is

Psalm 8 – The glory of God in the created universe

Psalm 19 – God is revealed in nature all around us; His word is described

Psalm 22 – Describes the crucifixion of Jesus

Psalm 23 – Who could do with out this psalm?

Psalm 40 – It is God who rescues us from the pit of sin

Psalm 51 – It is God we sin against when we chose to sin

Psalm 62 – This psalm teaches us to wait patiently for God’s help

Psalm 78 – God’s continued kindness to rebellious people

Psalm 91 – Safety in God’s presence

Psalm 119 – God’s everlasting word

Psalm 127 – Answer to worry

Psalm 139 – Description of how wonderfully we are made in the womb

Psalms 145-150 – Encourages us to praise God for He is worthy

Words to light your path

Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. NKJV

O God who inhabits eternity, give us eyes to see the importance of all Your word, both the Old and New Testaments.
