Build the Inner Man · Practice 5 of 5

Depend on the Spirit for fruit willpower cannot manufacture.

Self-control is fruit of the Spirit, not a performance that earns grace.

Movement 3 of 7 · Practice 5 of 5

Bring it into ordinary life.

Self-control is fruit of the Spirit, not a performance that earns grace.

Galatians 5:22–23

Christ's grace comes before this duty. This action does not earn acceptance with God. It is the fruit of a man being formed under Christ.

Do this today.

Ask the Spirit for one named fruit before the next pressure point, then practice it there.
