In the last message of our Fruits of the Spirit series, we examine that great virtue of self-control: our personal mastery over body and emotion. As Christians, it is expected that when it comes to our passions and the flesh, we will have control. We will have control because the old man that once ruled us is dead. Our ways have been changed in the Lord, our nature has been altered by the presence of the Spirit. And thus, self-control will be evidenced.
