What is the relationship between the Old Testament and the New Testament? Did things go wrong and break in the Old Testament and God had to come, in Jesus, and fix that?

Resisting the Temptation of Moral Formation
Do you want so badly to engage in certain activities, rigorous regimens of spiritual disciplines, hoping they will finally spiritually grow you?
Do you hope staying busy with these activities this will be the answer to some of the unresolved guilt and shame you have in your own life, that you are not as spiritually mature as you should be?
