Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
George Santayana

We have a responsibility to be students of history so we don’t make the same mistakes of those who have gone before us. The lessons of history are a great way for us to learn vicariously and avoid the pain of suffering through hardship. The Apostle Paul realized the edificatory nature of Scripture,

Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (1 Corinthians 10:11)
