"The Fruit of the Spirit is...self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23). This is much, much more than self-help, self-restraint, or self-discipline. To be self-controlled is to be Spirit-controlled. The Apostle Paul talks about this in detail in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 as he identifies 3 distinct marks of a self-controlled (Spirit-controlled) life.
