How can we understand the continuity of the Gospel through the Old and New Testaments?

Answered in 1 source

The Gospel is continuous through both testaments as it reveals God's redemptive plan for humanity from Genesis to Revelation.

The continuity of the Gospel from the Old Testament to the New Testament is fundamental to the Reformed theological perspective. Paul mentions in Romans 1:2 that the Gospel was promised beforehand through the prophets in the Holy Scriptures. This means that the prophecies, types, and shadows found in the Old Testament all point towards the fulfillment of the Gospel in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, Luke 24:27 describes how Jesus explained to His disciples the things concerning Himself throughout the Scriptures. Thus, from the earliest texts to the final revelation in Christ, the Gospel remains consistent, affirming that salvation has always been by grace through faith in God's promised Redeemer.
