The seven deadly sins is a catechetical formula used by the Church since very early times to show the root of all sins. First, pride, and then the rest are categories or "root" sins, so to speak. They are a handy way of teaching the various sins to people to show them what to avoid, along with their opposite virtues - which we must practice. To "commit" a deadly sin is to sin. To sin seriously is to kill the life of grace in your soul, in other words, to cut yourself off from God's mercy and condemn yourself to hell. So, for instance, with the sin of gluttony: to make a glutton of yourself on a regular basis, forming a habit and constituting yourself as a glutton would be to commit a mortal sin which cut you off from heaven. To indulge in a dessert once too often would be significantly less serious. So to commit one of the 7 deadly sins would be to sin, and the consequences would be the same as any sin. To commit all of them would be to seriously cut yourself off from the life of grace, and the love of God.
