Self-Control: Developing a Disciplined Life

August 27, 2023 • Galatians 5:23

Many people long to live for God and yet wonder how they can know exactly how close they are to doing it. This raises questions like, “How can I know when I’m really living out the Christian life?” and, “Am I letting God work in my life to help me live for Him, and what are the indicators that let me know it’s happening?” Are there signs that indicate whether we are living out the Christian life? Are there markers that can measure how well we’re living it out? The answer is that there are, and perhaps the best measure is found in a life that expresses the nine Fruit of the Spirit found in Galatians 5:22-23. These nine attributes (or fruit) serve as proof of how effective we are at allowing God to work in our lives, and that’s because when we fully surrender to Him, these traits are expressed more clearly and strongly than when we don’t live for Him. In this series, we will overview what the Fruit of The Spirit are, unpack how each of these nine fruit work, and explore how they can reveal how close we are to God and how well we’re allowing Him to work in our lives. When we embrace these fruit, we will live a Fruit(Full) life!
