Temperance comes from the Greek word egkrateia, meaning strength, not physical strength, but inward strength that helps us to make the best choices. This strength can only come from our daily dedication to obtaining and maintaining the other fruits of the Spirit detailed in Galatians 5. It’s only from God we can have self control in the midst of a trial, difficulty or under immense pressure. When things get out of control at times in our lives, God is able to give us His peace therefore allowing us to exhibit self control and be rooted in His peace.
