They tell part of God's redemptive story to bring humanity back into a right relationship with Him leading up to God the Father sending His Son, Jesus, into the world to bring about redemption from sin. We clearly see God's character in the Old Testament (His love, grace, holiness, sovereignty, power, saving nature, etc.)

The Old Testament contains the Law and the Prophets, which Jesus later fulfilled (Matthew 5:17 & Luke 24:44).

The Old Testament shows us our need of a Savior to pay for our sins, and speaks of the Savior who was to come. Jesus fulfills all of the prophecies of the Old Testament, lives a perfect life without sin, and then becomes the sacrifice for all humanity's sin, thus completing the work His Father gave Him to do.

Is Jesus part of the Old or New Testament?

Jesus is referenced in the Old Testament in prophetic terms, or in other words, the Old Testament predicts his coming to earth. In addition, it has been suggested that Jesus is part of the "we" or "us" that God refers to himself as throughout the Old Testament, as if Jesus existed with God prior to his physical form. However, the Old Testament does not explicitly address this - it is merely implied. The New Testament records the actual birth of Christ, his life, and his death. Specifically, the gospels (the first four books of the New Testament) - Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - speak mainly on the life and teachings of Christ, while other books are based on his teachings, or comprised completely of his teachings.

Why does the Protestant Bible have the books of the Old Testament in a different order than the Jewish scriptures?

Christians began to use books of the Old Testament as scripture before the Hebrew canon was formalised. By the fourth century, the Christian church began to concern itself about exactly what Old Testament books should be included, and Bishop Melito of Sardis went to Palestine to discover which Hebrew books belonged in the canon. His mission was to determine which books were considered sacred, not to determine in which order to place them. The Catholic Church and some Eastern churches include other books that are not in the Jewish canon.

How many times does God say He will be with us or is with us?

There are 39 books in the Old Testament and 27 books in the New Testament. The word Testament means covenant or promise. The Bible constantly tells us in one form or another that God is with us. A covenant (promise). The New Testament is not of sacrifice but of Love. When Jesus died on the cross the new covenant began. We still must obey all of the commandments in the Old Testament but the new covenant began. All through the new Testament it tells of how God is with us. He knows we are not perfect and He does not expect us to be. But if we ask for forgiveness, at anytime, God will forgive us. He is always everywhere and always with us. If we ask for forgiveness and really mean it, God must and will forgive us. Instantly and forever. Never to remember those shortcomings again. We can do this because God is with us always. He promises.
