Concluding our series, Pastor Caleb looks at the final fruit of the Spirit Paul lists in his letter to the Galatians: self-control. Paul is not encouraging believers to greater feats of personal strength or moral performance. Rather, Paul defines this fruit as yielding the growth and guidance of the new self to the Holy Spirit. What we need to experience this kind of holy self-control is to put on the new self and move forward with great self-awareness and trust in God. It's only in pursuing Jesus that we'll begin to yield the fruit of self-control before a watching world.
