The entire Bible tells one story. The Word is perfect and true, but the story it tells weaves its way through imperfect people. Bible scholars have interpreted God’s revelation and dealings with humanity in distinct periods, known as dispensations or covenants. These are concepts for another article, but basically, God has unfolded the history of m...
One of the best ways to see that God is the same in the Old Testament as the New Testament is to examine how salvation was achieved. Salvation is the process by which human beings are counted righteous before a holy God, extended forgiveness for sin, and granted eternal life. In the Old Testament, God gave certain laws to be obeyed. Each law had a ...
There are not two (or three) different Gods, but one triune, eternal divine being who has revealed Himself in three distinct persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God is inherently immutable. His character and nature are the same from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22. God does not change. He is at all times fully Himself. Here ar...
Feb 16, 2023 · The Lord is holy, just, gracious, and loving. In the New Testament, we see the same attributes in Jesus, the perfect Son of God.

In fact, the New Testament authors consistently claim that the God revealed in the Old Testament in the same God who is now revealing himself in and through Jesus Christ.

First, you must realize that the Bible is a unit, and that the revelation of God in the Old Testament and New Testament is consistent. If it were not consistent, the Bible could not be called truth (John 17:17). However, God is the same and He does not change.
