Why is the distinction between the Old and New Testament important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The distinction underscores the superior administration of God's grace revealed through Christ, enhancing the understanding of the covenant.

The distinction between the Old and New Testaments is vital as it highlights the immeasurable superiority of Christianity over Judaism. In the New Testament, believers have a fuller revelation of Christ, who fulfills the promises made in the Old Testament. The Old Testament saints looked forward to the coming of the Savior and had a partial view through types and shadows, while New Testament believers experience the reality of the promise. This knowledge enriches the Christian's understanding of grace, reinforces the faithful's unity with the ancient people of God, and strengthens the importance of faith in Christ as the central focus of redemption.
