How should Christians read the Old Testament?

<span style="color: rgb(15, 15, 15); font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">How should Christians read the Old Testament through a New Covenant lens?
Are Old Testament commands, promises, and warnings written directly to Christians today?
And if Jesus established a New Covenant, shouldn’t the cross change how we understand everything that came before it?
In Episode 57 of Grace Uncensored, Billy McDonald tackles one of the biggest sources of Christian confusion: how New Covenant believers should read the Old Testament.
The entire Bible is God-breathed, inspired, valuable, and worthy of study. But that doesn’t mean every command God gave Israel was given directly to you.
There’s a huge difference between Scripture being written FOR you and Scripture being written TO you.
So what happens when Christians ignore covenant context?
We say we’re under grace, but read ourselves back under Law.
We say Jesus changed everything, but read the Bible as though He changed almost nothing.
We say the Old Covenant is obsolete, but still use its conditions to determine whether God is pleased with us.
In this episode, we look at how to read the Old Testament from this side of the cross without diminishing it, ignoring it, or placing yourself back under a covenant Jesus fulfilled.
You’ll discover why audience matters, why covenant matters, why the cross matters, and why reading the Old Testament through New Covenant eyes actually makes Jesus more visible.
The Bible didn’t become obsolete.
The covenant did.
And once you understand that distinction, you may never read the Old Testament the same way again.
