How do we know that the stories in the Old Testament convey spiritual truths?

Answered in 1 source

The allegorical nature of Old Testament narratives reveals spiritual truths, as reflected in events orchestrated by God.

The Old Testament is rich in historical narratives that serve to convey deeper spiritual truths through the allegories fashioned by God. For instance, the stories of characters like Abraham and Jonah serve not simply as historical accounts but as teaching tools that illustrate greater redemptive themes. Galatians 4 points this out, labeling the events in Scripture as allegories that communicate profound truths about God's plan for salvation and His covenant relationship with humanity.
