1. Read and study Galatians 5:22-23 and consider how the last element mentioned (self-control) relates to the others. a.) Why will a lack of self-control (self-discipline) hinder your ability to love? b) Why will a lak of self-control interefere with peace? c) Why will a lack of self-control often frustrate your ability to be kind,patient and gentle? 3. Self-control is part of the fruit of the Spirit, so that means we dont produce it on our own. What attitude must there be in our lives if God is to produce this in us? "But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness,and faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law."
