This one question will never go away—how does the Old Testament relate to my life as a Christian? We’re not under the Old Covenant. Christ fulfilled the law (Matthew 5:17). The Old Covenant is now obsolete, because a newer and better one has arrived (Hebrews 8:13).

Nevertheless, Christians don’t feel comfortable just leaving the Old Testament behind, and rightly so. We need every word from God (Matthew 4:4, 2nd Timothy 3:16-17).

What, then, should be our relationship to the Law?
