In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains the biblical meaning of self-control and how it grows in the Christian life. Drawing from Galatians 5:22–23, Titus 2:11–12, and 1 Corinthians 9:25–27, this episode shows that self-control is not self-generated effort, but the fruit of the Holy Spirit trained by the grace of God. Christians are called not to legalism, but to Spirit-empowered discipline that leads to freedom, holiness, and faithful obedience to Christ. Listeners will be encouraged to pursue godly discipline through dependence on the Holy Spirit, daily obedience to God's Word, and confidence in the grace of God.
