We have the opportunity to become aware of certain things before they happen because we study the scriptures. The only book that provides us with knowledge about the past, present, and future is the Bible. For us Christians, it is advantageous. It sheds light on events that will undoubtedly happen and helps us avoid being in the dark.
This is so that we might live fully conscious lives. This is also to ensure that we are not caught off guard. The Knowing what lies ahead would help us approach it with awareness.
In any case, we don't go about living our lives. While some people may choose to live that lifestyle, we believers who are endowed with God's word do not.
