3 For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take any [extra] oil with them;
4 But the wise took flasks of oil along with them [also] with their lamps. Matthew 25:3-4 AMPC
The foolish Christians live their lives as if the Bridegroom is not coming back
1 But as to the suitable times and the precise seasons and dates, brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you.
2 For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night.
3 When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape.
4 But you are not in [given up to the power of] darkness, brethren, for that day to overtake you by surprise like a thief.
5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we do not belong either to the night or to darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-5 AMPC
The Scriptures are clear. We are to live our lives with a imminency of Jesus’s Return, working out our Salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12)
Behold, I am going to come like a thief! Blessed (happy, to be envied) is he who stays awake (alert) and who guards his clothes, so that he may not be naked and [have the shame of being] seen exposed! Revelation 16:15 AMPC
Jesus told us to watch and pray.
To be expectant to be aware of the signs of the times of the end. (Matthew 24:33, Luke 12:54-56, Matthew 16:2-4)
Let us keep watch and pray
