The Bible addresses the concept of excess in various forms, warning against the dangers of living a life characterized by indulgence and lack of self-control. Old Testament References The Old Testament provides several examples and teachings that caution against excess. In Proverbs, wisdom literature frequently highlights the importance of moderation. <a href="/proverbs/23-20.htm">Proverbs 23:20-21</a> advises, "Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them in rags." This passage underscores the consequences of excessive behavior, linking it to poverty and ruin. The account of the Israelites in the wilderness also serves as a cautionary tale against excess. In <a href="/bsb/exodus/16.htm">Exodus 16</a>, when God provided manna, the Israelites were instructed to gather only what they needed for each day. Those who gathered more than necessary found that the excess spoiled, illustrating the principle of relying on God's provision and avoiding greed. New Testament Teachings The New Testament continues to address the issue of excess, particularly in the teachings of Jesus and the apostles. In <a href="/luke/21-34.htm">Luke 21:34</a> , Jesus warns, "But watch yourselves, or your hearts will be weighed down by dissipation, drunkenness, and the worries of life, and that day will spring upon you suddenly like a trap." Here, Jesus cautions against the distractions and burdens that come from excessive living, which can lead to spiritual unpreparedness. The Apostle Paul also speaks against excess in his epistles. In <a href="/ephesians/5-18.htm">Ephesians 5:18</a> , he instructs, "Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit." Paul contrasts the excess of drunkenness with the fullness of the Holy Spirit, advocating for a life led by spiritual rather than physical desires. Moral and Spiritual Implications Excess is often associated with a lack of self-control, which is considered a fruit of the Spirit (<a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a>). The Bible encourages believers to exercise self-discipline and to live lives marked by moderation and temperance. In <a href="/1_corinthians/9-25.htm">1 Corinthians 9:25</a> , Paul uses the metaphor of an athlete to illustrate the importance of self-control: "Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable." The moral implications of excess extend beyond personal conduct to include social and economic dimensions. The parable of the rich fool in <a href="/luke/12-16.htm">Luke 12:16-21</a> serves as a warning against hoarding wealth and living in luxury without regard for others or for one's spiritual state. The rich man's focus on material excess ultimately leads to his downfall, as he fails to recognize the transient nature of earthly possessions. Practical Applications Believers are encouraged to practice moderation in all areas of life, including consumption, speech, and behavior. The call to avoid excess is not merely about abstaining from certain activities but about cultivating a heart and mind oriented towards God and His purposes. By prioritizing spiritual growth and community well-being over personal indulgence, Christians can live out the biblical principles that counteract the temptations of excess.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
