FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT | ”Self-control”

Self-control: the meta-fruit empowering all Fruits

Sarah Ngu makes the case that self-control is kind of a meta-fruit: it helps you do all the other Fruits well. To be able to ensure that when you are exhibiting the other Fruits of the Spirit you are doing so in a way that is rooted from within and carried out by the power of the Spirit.

In Christianity, at the core of self-control is actually surrendering to the Spirit. The gift of self-control: We focus on what we can control especially in the midst of oppressive systems.
