The Bible is divided into 2 main parts -the Old Testament (sometimes called "the Older Testament") and the New Testament. They work in tandem –neither is complete without the other.
-The Old Testament records the history of God's interaction with the Jewish people, leading up to the promised birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. It explains why a messiah was needed (to rebuild our broken relationship with God) and how to recognize the messiah once he arrived (we call this prophecy).
-The New Testament records the birth, life, death and resurrection of the messiah (the fulfillment of the prophecies from the Old Testament). It also records the history of the good news about the messiah, and our opportunity to have a right relationship with God, being spread throughout the known world. And it gives glimpses into what God has planned for the future.
