Christian Perspectives On Self-Control

In the Christian context, Paul describes self-control in the epistle to the Galatians (5:22), as one of the fruits of the Spirit. In the epistle addressed to Titus (2:6) he instructs to 'Urge the younger men to be self controlled.' The Apostle Peter describes an increase in self control as fundamental to the salvation of a Christian (2 Peter 1:5-8).

The fundamental reason for the “more” of these texts is the inexhaustible nature and challenge of Christ’s love, not the power of sin to render believers impotent to truly effect the good.
