Addictions
Addiction is a complex problem involving physical, psychological, and spiritual aspects. From a Christian perspective, addiction is a form of slavery to sin that requires spiritual intervention (see 2 Peter 2:19; John 8:34).
The Bible recognizes that people can become addicted to various substances or behaviors, such as food (Philippians 3:18–19), alcohol (Isaiah 5:11; 56:12; Titus 2:3), or wealth (1 Timothy 6:9–10). Addiction leads to habitual sin, crippling dependency, and ruined relationships. It ultimately never satisfies (Ecclesiastes 5:10; Romans 6:20–21).
