Living for Pleasure?

1Tim 5:6 But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives.

Being a dependent and receiving entitlements, being alone, and not having a job, it's easy to spend life just watching TV, or just being involved in other such leisure activities.

But "He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again."2Cor 5:15

And yes, this is somewhat a warning to retirees. Living for leisure is like the rich fool who said, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry." Luke 12:19 But to God he was dead from that moment.

Regardless of one's widowhood status or the legitimacy of receiving entitlements, if you're living for yourself rather than living to serve God, you might as well be dead as far as God is concerned
