The Apostle Paul states the importance of the Old Testament to Christians:

Romans 15:4 - For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

Another pertinent passage is found in 1 Corinthians 10:1-11, which concludes: Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
