Growing up, I also didn’t really read the Old Testament, and I just focused on the New Testament. I’m currently read the Old Testament now, but it really opened my eyes to find out the meanings of Jesus being “the lamb of God”. It also helps reading the Old Testament to know how God wanted things to be. How strict He was, but also how forgiving and gracious He was and still is with the way He kept forgiving Pharoah, and also how He forgave the Ninevites.
