Understanding The Old and New Testaments

What if the Old Testament is not what most people think it is?

What if the New Testament did not begin in Matthew 1:1?

For centuries, many sincere Christians have read the Bible without clearly distinguishing between the Old and New Testaments. As a result, laws have been mixed with grace, covenants have been confused, and countless believers have struggled to understand which Scriptures directly apply to the Church today.

In Understanding the Old and New Testament, Pastor Sam Royalty takes readers on a carefully documented biblical journey that examines the Scriptures from the Scriptures themselves—not from tradition, assumptions, or popular opinion. Rather than asking what religion says, this book asks a far more important question: What does the Bible actually call the Old Testament, and what does it actually call the New Testament?

Inside this book, you will discover:

• What the Bible identifies as the Old Testament.

• When the New Testament truly began.

• The difference between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.

• Why the Gospels occupy a unique place in biblical history.

• The purpose of the Law and why it was given.

• How the finished work of Christ changed the believer's relationship with God.

• Why understanding the covenants transforms the way you read the entire Bible.

• How to interpret Scripture without confusing different periods of God's redemptive plan.

This is not a book that encourages readers to reject any part of the Bible. Instead, it helps you understand every part of the Bible in its proper context so that God's Word becomes clearer, more consistent, and more powerful in your daily life.

Whether you are a new believer, a Bible student, a church leader, or someone who has wrestled with difficult questions about the Old and New Testaments, this study will challenge long-held assumptions, deepen your understanding of Scripture, and help you appreciate the completeness of God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ.

Read the Bible with greater clarity. Understand God's covenants with greater confidence. Discover the beauty of the Scriptures as they reveal God's eternal plan through His Son, Jesus Christ.
