Old Testament
Many people avoid reading the Old Testament of the Bible because some of it seems boring. But the stories are fascinating. We can learn a lot about God from the stories of Joseph, Abraham, David, Ruth, and others. Paul wrote in Romans 15:4: For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. So the O.T was written to encourage us to endure on our faith because God was faithful back then and He will be faithful now.
