The Way To Self-Control Is Jesus

Bible Summary. The way to self-control starts from within ourselves. Many of us seek self-control, but Jesus is the only true way to self-control. Christians have a higher inspiration to have self-control than a Olympic athlete because Christians are striving for an eternal and incorruptible crown. See below for Biblical commentary and scriptures on the way to have self-control.

The Way To Self-Control – Realize That It Starts Within Ourselves.

The way to self-control starts from within ourselves. We can try the latest fad diets, smoking patches, and anger management classes, but these self-control fixes will not work until we realize that the fix is within ourselves and with God.

Key Bible Verse: Proverbs 25:28 advises us that people without self-control are like a city that is broken down without walls.

Jesus is the Way To Self-Control.

Many of us seek self-control, but Jesus is the only true way to self-control. He is the only human that has walked on this Earth and was perfect. Once we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, all we need to do is follow Jesus' example in word and deed to be perfect – to have perfect self-control.

Key Bible Verse: Colossians 3:17 advises us to act in the name of Jesus in word and deed.

Christians Have A Higher Inspiration to Have Self-Control.

Christians have a higher inspiration to have self-control than a Olympic athlete. An Olympic athlete is inspired by the opportunity to win a gold medal. Many Olympic athletes train for the Olympics for years and they have great self-control and discipline. On the other hand, Christians have a greater inspiration to obtain and maintain self-control and not to sin.

Key Bible Verse: 1 Corinthians 9:25 tells us that Christians are inspired more than athletes to have self-control because Christians are striving for an eternal and incorruptible crown.
