The Fruit: Self-Control
Self-control includes spiritual discipline, restraint, curbing fleshly impulses, and mastery over one’s desires and passions.
Self-control is not self-manufactured. Self-control is Spirit-produced.
Works of the Flesh vs. Fruit of the Spirit.
In Galatians 5:19-21, Paul supplies a list of sins he calls the “works of the flesh.” Paul uses the word “flesh” to describe all the parts of the body that can be used as instruments of sin.
· Eyes—what you look at.
· Ears—what you listen to.
· Mouth—what you say.
· Hands—what you do.
· Feet—where you go.
· Mind—what you think.
· Heart—what you desire.
Questions to Consider
· In what areas of your life are you not surrendering to the Spirit’s power?
· In what areas of your life are you running aimlessly and beating the air?
· Where are you spiritually undisciplined?
· If you were to fall into an area of sin, where would it be?
· What are you doing to guard yourself in that area?
· Are you constantly surrendering that area to the Spirit’s control?
· Are you as disciplined about being in the Word as you are about hitting the gym?
· Are you constantly submitting your flesh—the instruments of your body—to the Spirit’s control?
