The Scripture

"This is the BOOK. In it is guidance sure without doubt , to those who are God-fearing." (Qur'an Chapter II, verse 2nd, and another Verse (29) from Chapter XXXVIII
"(Here is ) a BOOK which We have sent down unto thee full of blessings, that they may meditate on its signs and that men of understanding may recieve admonition"

God has 'sent down' Books for man to guide him to a life pleasing to God (so that he refrains from doing things that may incur His displeasure and anger)
That is the main purpose for revealing the scriptures throughout man's history, so the Qur'an is revealed for:
1. Guidance for mankind (those who believe in Him and fear His displeasure)
2. Full of blessings (for those who read it, understand it, follow it and apply its instruction in their lives, like a 'road-map' get the true blessings of God)
3. Ponder over its verses (so that you undersatnd this 'road-map' correctly)
4.Those who do understand, recieve admonition.
If the 'road-map' is read and understood but not applied (for guidance), purpose is not served.

EACH BREATH THAT ONE TAKES IS A STEP TOWARD ONE"S DESTINY (Ali IBn-Abi Taalib RA)
