Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
'A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls.' Self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit Paul mentions in his letter to the Galatians. The idea being, we need to control ourselves when it comes to temptation. This can be challenging at times because the human instinct is very strong. However, in calling on the name of the Lord we receive the strength we need to practice self-control. If we fail to practice self-control evil will enter us and leave us in ruins. Self-control, then, acts as a defense against evil. In relying on Jesus we can keep those temptations away so that we can continue to live in the Spirit and in the presence of God. God bless you.
