To show that from way back when, God has always had a plan for us. He has gradually revealed himself to us -- in the manner that we are able to receive it. He worked with us in our weaknesses -- we are not always ready to hear the message. God is faithful and has always been there since he first chose to reveal himself as the one true God.

The OT is a lot more than prophecy, but prophecy is one answer. The OT is loaded with prophecy about Christ's coming, where, what he would do, etc. Since that all turned out to be accurate, it confirms the NT information about His coming. How can the Messiah's coming and teaching not be "viable" for today's Christians?

The old testament is essential to understand all the promises that is giving in the new testament. It is not only the history that let up to the birth of our dear Savior but also if you read it with concentration and ask God to give you understanding then it will give you wisdom

O.T. is a background to the N.T. and Christianity.
We come to understand many N.T. passages in the light of the O.T.
To make the O.T. relevent in the present time we need to understand what all was going at that time, get the core message, and reinterpret it in the modern time.

It's not.
Had Jesus been in agreement with the
Old Testament, he would not have been
crucified.
Romans didn't put Christ to death.
Jews did, because they finally realized
he was leading them away from their
religious roots.
