The Old and New testaments are together one book. The New Testament is unintelligible without the Old Testament. Without the Old testament, the New testament is out of context and is highly misinterpreted.
The apostles and other writers of the New Testament knew the Old Testament scripture and often quoted verses from the Old Testament showing the connections. References to Adam, Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Jonah, Noah, David, and Moses are throughout the New Testament so to fully understand the New Testament you need the context of the Old Testament.
The Old Testament provides the history and foundation of the New Testament teachings. The teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, for example, are explaining the underlying concepts of Ten Commandments and the laws given to Moses.
Additionally
The OT is about God and man. How God created man and had fellowship with man. How that fellowship was broken. How God dealt/deals with man, how man can come to God. The way of salvation and many other things can be learnt from the OT. Also Christ is in the OT.
