In the context of biblical teachings, excessive behavior is often associated with sin, lack of self-control, and deviation from God's intended path for human conduct.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Teachings</b><br><br>1. <b>Excessive Drinking and Gluttony</b>: The Bible frequently warns against excessive indulgence in food and drink. <a href="/proverbs/23-20.htm">Proverbs 23:20-21</a> cautions, "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 highlights the consequences of excessive consumption, linking it to poverty and laziness.<br><br>2. <b>Self-Control as a Virtue</b>: The New Testament emphasizes self-control as a fruit of the Spirit, contrasting it with excessive behaviors. <a href="/galatians/5-22.htm">Galatians 5:22-23</a> states, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Here, self-control is presented as a virtue that guards against excess.<br><br>3. <b>Warnings Against Excessive Wealth</b>: The Bible also addresses the dangers of excessive wealth and materialism. In <a href="/1_timothy/6-9.htm">1 Timothy 6:9-10</a>, Paul warns, "Those who want to be rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil." This passage underscores the spiritual peril of excessive desire for wealth.<br><br>4. <b>Excessive Speech</b>: Scripture advises caution in speech, warning against excessive talking. <a href="/proverbs/10-19.htm">Proverbs 10:19</a> notes, "When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise." This proverb suggests that excessive speech can lead to sin, advocating for restraint and wisdom in communication.<br><br>5. <b>Excessive Worry and Anxiety</b>: Jesus addresses the issue of excessive worry in <a href="/matthew/6-25.htm">Matthew 6:25-34</a>, urging His followers to trust in God's provision. He says, "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?" This teaching encourages believers to avoid excessive anxiety by placing their trust in God.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Excessive behavior is often seen as a manifestation of a deeper spiritual issue, such as idolatry, lack of faith, or rebellion against God's order. The Bible calls believers to a life of moderation, self-discipline, and reliance on God. By avoiding excess, Christians are encouraged to live in a manner that reflects their faith and honors God.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>In practical terms, Christians are encouraged to examine their lives for areas of excess and to seek balance through prayer, accountability, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Whether it be in consumption, speech, or desires, the call is to live a life that is pleasing to God, marked by moderation and self-control.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>a.</I>) Characterized by, or exhibiting, excess; overmuch.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/5246.htm"><span class="l">5246. huperogkos -- of <b>excessive</b> weight or size</span></a> <br><b>...</b> of <b>excessive</b> weight or size.
