"The Old Testament in the New"

"The Old Testament in the New" refers to how the New Testament of the Bible builds upon, interprets, and fulfills themes, prophecies, and laws found in the Old Testament. Many New Testament writers reference Old Testament scriptures to demonstrate that Jesus Christ fulfills Jewish prophecies about the Messiah and to show continuity in God's plan. This connection highlights the historical and theological links between the two sections, emphasizing that stories, teachings, and predictions in the Old Testament find their resolution or deeper meaning in the New Testament's accounts of Jesus and the early Christian community.
