The Historical Background of 'Eat, Drink, and Be Merry': The Beginnings of YOLO

and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.

This is what will accompany them in their hard work, during the lifetime that God gives under the sun." - Common English Bible And I shall say to my soul, 'My soul, you have many goods laid up for many years, be contented, eat, drink and be merry.' “ This is the teaching and gift of Mother Mary to me in my life right now.

If we only live for now, and only live for ourselves, we’ve lost the meaning of life. How Should Christians Approach the Concept of YOLO and 'Eat, Drink, and Be Merry'? To “eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die”—to live life for pleasure’s sake alone—goes against the biblical mindset to “count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus” (Romans 6:11). The Lord has called believers to live a holy life (1 Peter 1:16), but we cannot be holy without His help and guidance from the Holy Spirit. A godly life requires a choice to follow God’s will and leave our old, pleasure-seeking ways behind (Romans 12:1–2). If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to-morrow we die.

Eat, drink, and be merry!”’ Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
