How To Have Self-Control – Follow Jesus

Romans 13:14. There is really only one method on how to have self-control in your life and that is through following Jesus' example. We can try all types of quick-fix, multiple-step plans, but the only complete solution for self-control is to follow Jesus. Most of us desire to have self-control in our lives in order to do what is right and not do things that in the long term will hurt us. The problem is that most of us do not achieve complete self-control in our lives. We may have self-control over many aspects of our lives, but there always seems to be one vice that we cannot control. That vice may be drinking, sex, drugs, love of money, overeating, and so on. In the final analysis, Jesus offers the only complete solution for self-control. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, He offers everything we need to be perfect and have self-control. By us putting on the character of Jesus Christ and following His example, His salvation plan gives us the power and the self-control to not make provisions for the flesh, the vices in our lives (Romans 13:14, “But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.;”).
