Drunkenness
Ephesians
5:18
According to
the Webster dictionary drunkenness means: Saturated with liquid, given to habitual
excessive use of alcohol, unsteady or lurching as if from alcoholic intoxication.
In the Bible,
drunkenness refers to the state of being intoxicated by alcohol, leading to
impaired judgement and behavior. It is often portrayed as a vice that results
in moral and spiritual decay (Galatians 5:19-21) and is linked to other sinful
behaviors such as debauchery and idolatry. Additionally, drunkenness serves as
a metaphor for spiritual confusion and helplessness in times of calamity (Job
12:25: Isaiah 19:14. The Bible condemns drunkenness, urging believers to remain
sober-minded and vigilant (I Peter 5:8).
“And do not
be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.”
Ephesians 5:18
Please
read the scriptures listed, study them, apply them to your life and grow in the
