Part 9 - SERIES: Fruit of the Sprit
Self-Control is the final fruit of the Spirit Paul lists in Galatians 5:22-23. In many ways it’s the capstone fruit, because as we grow in the others we naturally grow in self-control. However, self-control may not be exactly what you first think it to be. Self-control is not self-management. Rather, it is denying power to your old self and yielding control to your new self. It’s giving the Holy Spirit control over your “self”. If you’ve trusted Christ you have an old self (your old sinful nature) and a new self (your new identity in Christ) that are opposed to each other. Which “self” will you yield control to today?
