The God of the OT is the God of the NT.
Jesus just takes the wrath upon Himself on the cross so we (in this life) live free from it.
jesus teachings of turning the other cheek and loving your enemies is much much different than bible gods attitude in the old testament ordering people to kill their enemies you must not know much about the massacres and atrocities god ordered people to do to their enemies in the OT
Those were God's enemies. The Law of moses allowed an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. In essence one could not go beyond the severity of the wrong commited against you. It was a upper limit, the option was to forgive. This is what Jesus pushed rather than take full avantage of what the law would allow. Nothing change, Jesus simply wanted people to look at it the other way.
