Luke 24:27  and 44 are scriptures that set the tone for study of the Bible. It is through  the use of scripture that our Lord opened to HIS disciples the reason for HIM  coming to earth, HIS plan of salvation and what their role would be in spreading  the good news of the gospel message throughout the world.

. Many people  do not understand that the Bible is an entire and complete book, rather than  being divided into two distinct parts. Quite often it is heard, "the Old  Testament was before Christ and no longer applicable" or "that only the New  Testament provides Christians a rule and guide for the spiritual conduct of  their lives" There are some who even think that God in the Old Testament is of a  different character than that of our Lord Jesus Christ in the New  Testament

The solid foundation which establishes the correlation of the  Old and New Testament is the many prophecies in the Old Testament which pointed  to a coming Messiah. Then when Christ came to this earth in human form, His  life, death and resurrection fulfilled that which the Old Testament had  foretold. The Old Testament is the basis for all truths, and sets the standard  that governs our relationship with God and our fellowman.
