Temperance
|
Temperance means self-control. It is control over the whole man (spirit, soul, and
body) which enables us to live a victorious life
(I Corinthians 9:25).
A person who has self-control is mild
and calm, avoids extreme behavior, and exercises self-restraint in both actions and
speech. Although restraint and self-control aren't easy, they are necessary if one
ever wants to operate in the fruit of the Spirit. After all, temperance and love are
the bookends that hold all the other fruit in place.
| Ephesians 5:18
|
"And be not drunk
with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the Spirit;"
