SURAH AL-BAQARAH: 27

ٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهۡدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مِيثَـٰقِهِۦ وَيَقۡطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦۤ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفۡسِدُونَ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ أُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡخَـٰسِرُونَ۔ 

"THOSE WHO BREAK THE COVENANT OF ALLAH AFTER IT HAS BEEN MADE BINDING, AND CUT OFF WHAT ALLAH HAS COMMANDED TO BE JOINED, AND SPREAD DISORDER ON THE EARTH - IT IS THESE WHO ARE THE LOSERS."

Part 1

In this verse it is further explained that it is only those people who disobey Allah Ta'alah who get misguided by the examples used in the Quran that the non-believers have objected about, and there are two reasons for that.

The first is that those people who disobey Allah Ta'alah break the first ever covenant they entered into with Allah Ta'alah. The Holy Quran says that before any human being had come down to earth Allah Ta'alah had gathered the spirits of all the human beings and asked, "الست بربّکم", "Am I not your Lord?" to which all spirits had replied, "بلیٰ", "Yes". (7:172). This covenant and acceptance required that man should obey Allah Ta'alah at all times, since their is no Creator and Provider but Him.  So what expectation of deriving benefit from a Prophet's teachings or a Divine Book can be held from a transgressor who broke this divine covenant with Allah?
