Many Christians may find it easy to laugh about gluttony as a sine and accept it is harmless compared to being adulterer or alcoholic but it is still a sin we should not commit.

Gluttony is a sin in which it is idolizing - a choice to self-love, comfort, and control through foods.

Read these Bible Verses below so that you will understand how serious is God when he said gluttony is a sin.
