How does the Old Testament relate to the New Testament?

Answered in 2 sources

The Old Testament reveals Christ through types and prophecies, while the New Testament fulfills these in His person and work.

The relationship between the Old Testament and New Testament is foundational to understanding the entirety of Scripture. The sermon highlights that Jesus stated all the scriptures bear witness to Him. Luke 24:44 reflects this when Jesus says, 'These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning me.' This indicates that the Old Testament is filled with types, patterns, and prophecies that foreshadow Christ’s coming. For instance, stories such as that of Boaz and Ruth serve as a type pointing to Christ as our Kinsman-Redeemer, underscoring that God’s plan of salvation is consistent from Genesis to Revelation. The New Testament reveals these types as fulfilled in Christ, making it imperative for believers to see the continuity of God’s redemptive plan.
