God does not change, nor has He ever changed. There is not an “Old Testament god” and a “New Testament god”. There is mercy in the Hebrew scriptures, and grace and forgiveness. And there is judgment and destruction in the New. God has not changed—rather the human focus on God becomes clearer in the New Testament because of the revelation of Jesus.
Jesus knows God so much better than Moses or David or even Abraham. Jesus is unified with God in a way no other human can appreciate or dream of. In this way, Jesus communicates God better and clearer than anyone ever has. And so we can have a better idea of who God really is under Jesus than has ever been the case before Him.
