Well, the New Testament plays a role in today's society because this is the time taking place after the death of Jesus Christ. The Apostles were to continue his work until his appointed time to return for his church, aka christians. So, in a sense, followers of christ are charged with witnessing and bringing as much souls to God as possible. Since Jesus has not returned yet, the new testament is still happening, every day you wake up, another line is written.Read the book of Acts. It is very informative and if you have further questions, consult the Strong's concordance.

∙ 11y agoThough the stories told and timeline presented differ due to the events transpiring during those times, these two testaments represent the complete and whole divine revelation from God to mankind.
Commonly, the Book of Malachi is considered the final writing in the Old Testament and its message is of a coming 'Elijah-type' to introduce the Lord (Malachi 31; 4:5-6). And some 400 years later, the Gospel of Mark, considered by many to be the first writing of the New Testament, begins right where Malachi left off - bridging both testaments. Similarly, Matthew 1:1-17 begins his Gospel as a continuation of the Old Testament with Jesus' legal genealogy through the patriarchs and kings. In effect, Matthew validates the importance of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) and Matthew shows us how his Gospel is building upon said foundation.
Through the Prophets, the Old Testament shows us the common mistakes and fallen ways of a special group of called-out peoples chosen to be mankind's example. Primarily, most all of these peoples did not have God's Holy Spirit to help guide them. However, the transition to the Gospels or Good News shows us God's Grace and Mercy by sending a Savior to atone for sins of all mankind and offered His Holy Spirit freely to everyone who repents and is baptized (Acts 2:38).
