The Acceptable Christian Sin of Gluttony #15

TEXT: Genesis 3:1-6

In the account of the sin of our first parents, we have already seen two parallels that shed light on how we are drawn into gluttony and kept in bondage by it. We have seen that this captivity to the flesh comes through the lust of the eyes: we are attracted to foods that are pleasing in appearance. We allow gluttony into our life even further when we talk ourselves into buying and eating foods that we know are bad for us. Now, notice that gluttony is further entrenched when we share our bad food consumption habits with others.
