31 Verses Every Teenager Should Know: Character

The Old Testament. Relevant.

Is that an oxymoron?

The times of the Old Testament were a long time ago. A LONG time ago. Although we may not have chariot races or write on stone, the people of the Old Testament give us a picture of ourselves and of the true and holy God. Lying, deceit, murder, power struggles, and theft are just a few of the sinful issues of the predominant characters in the Old Testament. We can relate to these heart problems, even if our circumstances aren't exactly the same as theirs.

We can see ourselves in these characters, but the most important Character in the Old Testament is God. He shows Himself to us in His Word by the way that He called out and interacted with His people. The Old Testament is not so much a story of characters but of one Character who works through His people to tell the world of His salvation.
