Many Christians encounter verses that speak of blessings, protection, or provision and wonder if they can claim them personally. To answer this, we must first consider the context—who the promise was originally given to and under what circumstances. Some promises were specific to Israel or certain individuals, while others extend to all believers. By studying Scripture carefully, we can apply God’s promises with wisdom, trust in His faithfulness, and avoid misinterpreting verses for personal gain.
