All scripture is given by
inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness: [2 Tim 3:16 KJB]
While all scripture is FOR
us, not all scripture is TO or ABOUT us.
That is why we need to heed scripture when it tells us to…
STUDY to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth. [2 Tim 2:15 KJB]
…want to be ‘approved’ of God
and not ‘ashamed’? Then scripture is
clear, we need to study it rightly dividing it.

Excellent advice! Christians need to remember that we have been given a brain to do our own thinking. Don't follow the majority like a passive sheep.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
