Self Control

Fruit of the Spirit:

Self-Control

Self-control helps us choose to think, act, and say things that demonstrate God's love and character.

What is self-control?

Self-control is choosing actions and attitudes that please God,  

not our self.  The Holy Spirit helps us to make choices that show we are created to be like God, who is righteous and holy. (Eph 4:23,24)  Self-control isn't about following rules and having strong willpower, so we can be perfect. Self-control is about why we act like we do.
