"The primary purpose for studying the Bible is NOT to accumulate trivia, the primary purpose for studying the Bible is to let it change you. Let the word become flesh inside of you; it's for me to be transformed by the word of God. Why? Because its God-Breathed! Too many people study the Bible and don't let it change them. They can win Jeopardy, they can answer all the questions and yet they fail at life. Why? Because.... The purpose of the Bible is to get into us, were to meditate on it until it transforms the way we think, until it transforms the way we live.
Therefor as you read through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and those guys, step back and erase the name of Abraham and sometimes you will see yourself; take the names off the stories and view them as humans just like you because that's all they are: human beings that tapped into something of God and learned something through their life experience.
Corinthians states that 'these were all now written for our example,' we learn through these guys."
