In this series called Ripened and Ready, Treading Faith is diving into the Fruit of the Spirt for this season (Galatians 5:22-23). On this episode, we are covering the last characteristic of the fruit, Self-Control. The Bible says that self-control is a fundamental virtue that is essential for living a Godly life. The Bible also says that self-control is a gift from God and that it is a fruit of the Spirit. Proverbs 25:38 says, "A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls." While we sometimes don't want to admit it, the only person in control of anything is God.
