Fruit of The Spirit & Spiritual Gifts (Episode 9: TEMPERANCE)

Temperance is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23. Temperance is often translated as self-control and is essential to Christian living. It involves controlling one's desires and passions and living a disciplined life.

The Greek word for temperance is "enkrateia," which means "self-control" or "self-restraint." It describes a person who has control over their desires and passions. Temperance involves living a disciplined life and avoiding excesses.

The Bible teaches that temperance is essential for Christian living. In 1 Corinthians 9:25-27, believers are encouraged to exercise self-control in all things to receive the prize of eternal life. In Titus 2:11-12, believers are instructed to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age.

Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of temperance. He exercised self-control throughout His life on earth and resisted temptation even when it was difficult. He lived a disciplined life and avoided excesses.

In conclusion, temperance is an essential fruit of the Holy Spirit that should be evident in the lives of believers. It involves controlling one's desires and passions and living a disciplined life. As Christians, we are called to exercise self-control in all things to receive the prize of eternal life.
