SELF-CONTROL

F RUIT OF THE S PIRIT The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Galatians 5:22-23 (NASB) Note: The Spirit refers to God’s Spirit, whom Jesus promises as a gift for those who believe in Him

W HY DO YOU THINK MANY OF US FIND IT DIFFICULT TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THESE ATTRIBUTES ?

For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. Galatians 5:17

S ELF C ONTROL Two ways to live life: a) A life controlled by us b) A life controlled by God A life controlled by us = War with God A life controlled by God = Peace with God Yeah, it isn’t much of a choice really; But we must choose today

T HE SELF CONTROL WAR IS TO INTENSE WE AREN ’ T SUPPOSED TO FIGHT IT ALONE

WE ’ RE INCAPABLE IN OURSELVES TO EXERCISE SELF - CONTROL. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. Romans 7:18-12 (NASB)

W HO WILL SET US FREE “…Who will set me free from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!... Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.” Romans 7:24 - 8:2 (NASB)

Father, not my will; but Yours be done

The cross gives us a new definition for self-control
