Proverbs 22:3

A prudent and far-sighted person sees the evil (of sin) and hides himself (from it), but the naïve continue on and are punished (by suffering the consequence of sin).

The knowledge gained from the study of the word of God keeps us from falling into the traps of sin. God loves us so much and wants to keep us safe and wise to the enemy’s devices. God doesn’t want us to fail; if we fail, He wants us to confess sin and get back up. God wants us to succeed in this life.
