John 1:
There is some truth to that. The OT covered thousands of years while the NT covered only about a century. The way God dealt with people was different at different times with different covenants and different revelations.
Is the OT God different from the NT God?
No, there is only one God, all pointing to the same God. Now, we are not talking about his interactions with people. We are talking about his identity, character, and nature.
Malachi 3:
God dealt with his creation differently at different times, but it is the same God. His nature does not change.
The God of the Old Testament seems to be a God of wrath while the God of the New Testament is a God of love.17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Malachi 3:
James 1:6 I the LORD do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
Hebrews 13:17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Why does God seem to be portrayed differently in the Old and New Testaments?8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
God dealt with his creation differently at different times, but it is the same God. His nature does not change.
