Understanding how and where you fit into the outworking of God’s plan is vital because while all the Bible is for us, it is not all to us nor is it all about us. We cannot open the Bible and apply any and all verses to ourselves. For example, many passages command animal sacrifices. Obviously, no true Christian would teach that we should offer animal sacrifices today. We must distinguish between verses that apply today and verses that do not. We must “rightly divide the word of truth” (II Timothy 2:15 KJV).
