The “live for the moment” philosophy is everywhere! We are bombarded with the idea: “You only go through life once, so grab for the gusto you can!”
This way of thinking is as old as the hills. In time past it went under the saying “eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die.” One thing wrong with this is that we don’t usually die tomorrow. Instead, we have to live with our mistakes; some sins have lifetime consequences and must also face judgment for them after death.
Satan has always tried to promote the idea of living for the moment with wrong motives because it causes people to do things they would never do if they considered the future. Life is more than what you see now. Its the rest of your life here and forever in the next world which is heaven or hell. If you reject Jesus Christ you will end up in hell. You are not here just to live but to fulfill a purpose.
How to avoid this pitfall: recognize the seriousness and sacredness of life. Remember that what you do now will definitely affect you both this life and your life after now
