How do we know the authority of the Old Testament is true?

Answered in 1 source

The authority of the Old and New Testaments is intertwined, as both were inspired by the same Holy Spirit.

The authority of both the Old and New Testaments is crucial to our understanding of Scripture. In Matthew 12, Jesus refers to historical figures like Solomon and Jonah as actual persons, underscoring the importance of acknowledging the Old Testament's truth. Those who assert belief in the New Testament while dismissing the Old as mere fables fundamentally undermine the authority of Christ Himself. The same Spirit empowered the writing of both Testaments, thus their authority and truth stand united, reflecting God's revelation across both covenants.
