2 Corinthians 4:16-5:11

– Ecclesiastes proves that nothing in this world will ever satisfy Solomon sought satisfaction, meaning & purpose by following YOLO Solomon sought satisfaction, meaning & purpose by following YOLO Concluded all this life offers is vanity & grasping for the wind Concluded all this life offers is vanity & grasping for the wind – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly pursuits (1:3-11) – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly philosophy (1:12-18) – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly power (3:1-5:20) – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly popularity (4:13-16) – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly piety (5:1-6) – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly possessions (2:4-9; 5:10) – YOLO failed in the pursuit of worldly pleasure (2:1-3, 10-11) If all there is to life is what man can experience on earth, “All is vanity!”

– The purpose of living by and following YOLO is: To justify selfish desires To justify selfish desires To justify earthly pursuits To justify earthly pursuits – The only way to find ultimate fulfillment and satisfaction in this life is to: Purposefully look beyond self: Rather than living for self, live for God (Ecc. 12:1, 13; 2 Cor. 5:9) Purposefully look beyond self: Rather than living for self, live for God (Ecc. 12:1, 13; 2 Cor. 5:9) Purposefully look beyond this world: Rather than living for this life, live for “the next” (Ecc. 12:6-7; 2 Cor. 4:18-5:7) Purposefully look beyond this world: Rather than living for this life, live for “the next” (Ecc. 12:6-7; 2 Cor. 4:18-5:7) No matter how you try justify it: sin is still sin, away from God is still away from God, damned is still damned!

– The premise of YOLO is not true! – You only live once ON THIS EARTH, but that is not “the end”! Life ON THIS EARTH is only temporary (Ecc. 2:3; 9:9-10; 2 Co 4:18-5:4) Life ON THIS EARTH is only temporary (Ecc. 2:3; 9:9-10; 2 Co 4:18-5:4) “Death” is the end of life ON THIS EARTH (Ecc. 2:16; 3:2; 9:5) “Death” is the end of life ON THIS EARTH (Ecc. 2:16; 3:2; 9:5) “It is appointed for men to die once, but AFTER…” (Heb. 9:27) “It is appointed for men to die once, but AFTER…” (Heb. 9:27) – After life ON THIS EARTH, there is an ETERNITY (2 Cor. 5:1)! How I live ON THIS EARTH will determine WHERE I spend ETERNITY! How I live ON THIS EARTH will determine WHERE I spend ETERNITY! “God will bring every work into judgment” (Ecc. 12:14; 11:9) “God will bring every work into judgment” (Ecc. 12:14; 11:9) “Receive what is due for what he has done in the body” (2 Cor. 5:10) “Receive what is due for what he has done in the body” (2 Cor. 5:10) YOLO for SELF  YOLO in Hell! YOLO for GOD  YOLO in Heaven! YOLO for SELF  YOLO in Hell! YOLO for GOD  YOLO in Heaven! True satisfaction is only found when we honor God & focus our lives on things above the sun (Matt. 6:33; Col. 3:2)!
