This is a brief snack to aid in getting to know the meaning of ‘temperance’. The ASV in 1901 was the first to translate egkrateia as ‘self-control’ in Galatians 5:23. Since that time modern translators have done the same. However, this lesson will focus on temperance as found in the King James Version and the early modern English Bibles.
Are you a victim of bad habits? Be a wise child of God, I urge you to use self-control and avoid drinking and eating too much. You can avoid bad habits with the help of the Lord. He gave you self-control, please use it!
Active Faith: You say you have faith; what good is it when you fail to do good things to show it? Now ask yourself, “do I have active faith”? This simple lesson can help you put your faith into action. Faith without action is dead and useless.
That Spirit, the Holy Spirit (Spirit of God; Spirit of Christ), has come and is available to all. My friends, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you into true knowledge. Now learn to worship God in spirit (the Holy Spirit) and reality (true knowledge of God and what you should do). Because you are no longer a slave to sin or the Law of Moses!
Worship Him wherever you are and at all times. Yes, even in the building you call church. The truth is, ‘temple of God’, He came in that building with you!
You, child of God, can expect eternal life because of this promise and God’s grace (Ephesians 2:8). Now is not the time to stop believing in this promise. Since you worship and trust God. Let His promise of heaven (eternal life) be your desire.
Your faith life is more than believing in Jesus; it is about how you live. A life with Christ is far superior to a life without Him. So, live your best life, secured by having Jesus in your life!
You will never be able to eat solid spiritual food [spirit-fed] and understand the deeper things of God’s Word until you become better [spirit-led] Christians and learn right from wrong by practicing doing right.
Please remember that you are one of God’s children. So, each time you look into a mirror, love what you see. In conclusion, obey God and love others as you, as a child of God, love yourself. Most importantly, you must love and take care of yourself!
Given these points, strive to have others say they remember your work of faith, your labor of love, and your patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Thessalonians 1:3). So I urge you to man up, my fellow senior godly men, and let this lesson make you better older men of God.
Jesus does not want you to worry about this life. Things like food and clothing. In view of the fact that the birds and plants are well taken care of by God’s care. Know that He cares more about you than all of His creation. Remember Jesus suffered and died for you!
In conclusion, the Scriptures often mention that the Holy Spirit is a gift from God (Acts 2:38). Also keep in mind the one baptism mentioned in Ephesians is the baptism of the Holy Spirit (John 1:33). That is the baptism Jesus baptizes with; the Holy Spirit.
Do you believe in God and that he can do whatever you need Him to do? Actually, the question is not, “Can he do it?” It’s up to you to decide if you believe He can help. You will receive it if you believe it; believe in God!
If you want to be a true follower of Jesus, do as He asks. Be prepared to make sacrifices as you obey God. You will get your reward if you follow His example.
My friends, I urge you to step out in your reliance on the Lord. Trust Jesus, the faithful God, to work on your behalf. Active trust will meet whatever needs you may have. Now, child of God, step out on that reliance and watch your faith work in Jesus’ name.
You did not ask for selfish personal gain: riches, wealth, honor, the deaths of your enemies, or a long life. Instead, you asked for godly wisdom and knowledge to rule My people, over whom I have made you king. (The Voice)
