Our own lives reflected on the Bible's pages....

One thought I've been having as I have been going through this study.....I am wondering if we can't apply the entire Bible to each of our lives......deeper than the literal verses...like "go and sin no more". I understand  that, I am just wondering if there isn't something about each and every story that reflects out own lives. For example, Eve taking the apple...I search my soul to say what would I have done? I think I probably would have taken the apple also. Or, am I any different from Cain? If my brother was showing me up; and I got extremely angry and through I could get away with it would I do any differently?Haven't I already been there in my anger?  When God sent him into the world to roam, and he was scared....would I have done any differently than to plead for some special, egocentric consideration? 
In my reading I am trying to take this particular lens that somehow the Bible is also able to parallel not only my life but the lives of each and every one of us. 

Bless us Father as you continue to make revelations through your word!
